Frustrated leaders and citizens are meeting Thursday (November 19) with the Texas State Board of Education.

They're asking for more Latino and Native American representation in school curriculum.

The Board of Education is currently rewriting the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Standards for social studies curriculum in grades k through twelve.

The new curriculum will be decided in March 2010 and will likely be used for the next 10 to 12 years.

The first mention of a Hispanic in the TEKS draft is not until third grade.

Some issues like government have no Latino or Native American representation at all.
