MADISON -- School Administrative District 59 directors will not address revising the district's science curriculum at their Monday meeting, Superintendent Michael Gallagher said Tuesday.

At their April 29 meeting, they tabled consideration of a revised curriculum that could include changes in how evolution was taught.

Board member Matthew Linkletter of Athens last month suggested that the district remove evolution from its science curriculum, for which the district has received increased news-media attention. Linkletter said that evolution is not proven, and thus should not be taught as science.

Gallagher said that the board has no specific timetable regarding discussion or a vote on a revised curriculum. Such a vote might not happen during the current school year, he said.
