- Three members from public post-secondary educational institutions with expertise in Mathematics or Science education;
- Four members from the private sector, including the national laboratories, museums and science-and-engineering-based businesses; and
- One member who represents the New Mexico Partnership for Mathematics and Science Education.
The council shall meet quarterly.
Background:
The purpose of the council is to advise the Math and Science Bureau:
- make recommendations regarding the statewide strategic plan for improving mathematics and science education,
