🍎INVESTING IN LITERACY🍎 Earlier this year, the Martin County School Board adopted new K-12 instructional materials for ELA that are fully aligned to the Florida Department of Education's new B.E.S.T. standards. The complete curriculum adoption was funded in part with proceeds generated by the half-mill property tax referendum that was approved by Martin County voters in 2018. WPTV's Stephanie Susskind recently visited Port Salerno Elementary School to take a look at how these new instructional materials are being launched throughout the District. Tune in tonight at 6 to learn more! #ALLINMartin👊
