From time to time issues arise that relate to history-social science education where a response from the field is needed. Sometimes it is an action by the State School Board, the California Department of Education, or the U.S. Department of Education. Other times it is a piece of legislation that would effect social studies, funding, curriculum, assessment, instructional materials, instructional time, etc.
In these cases the leadership of the California Council for Social Studies takes the issue under advisement and initiates a discussion among members, usually via email, to determine the position of the members and the appropriate action needed in response to the issue.
