I wanted to do a quick search around the Internet in relation to my previous post about a very weak florida science education plan. Is it possible we’re just missing something? I was surprised to discover that the old Office of Mathematics & Science website no longer exists. It was http://www.fldoestem.org. The new page is just part of the Bureau of Curriculum and Instruction site at http://www.fldoe.org/bii/oms.asp, and this new page lacks all of the tons of information that was at the old site. Another interesting thing to note is at the top of this page it says:
Position Vacant

What’s going on up there in Tallahassee?
I work for the DOS and our individual agency websites are being restructured and consolidated. I hope that is all it is. Also, with the new administration, a lot of people were pushed out of higher management positions.

Nothing good.
We just lost the Department of Community Affairs.
The grapevine has it that the state office of Environmental Protection is next.
Before Rick Scott and the other teabaggers are through, Fla government will be reduced to nothing but the state prison system and the OMMC (Office of Multi-Millionaire Coddling).
