The goal of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools (WS/FCS) proposal entitled Science and Mathematics Excellence (SciMaX) is that all students will graduate with the capacity to pursue post-secondary studies and careers in science and mathematics. Its specific objectives are (1) To complete the implementation of standards-based K-12 mathematics and science program within the District establishing high standards for all students in all classrooms; (2) To increase K-8 proficiency by 4% in End-of-Grade [test] in mathematics, by 5% in 8th grade Algebra I, and by 5 percentile points in science each year; (3) To increase enrollment in upper level mathematics and science courses by 10% each year and achieve an overall completion of 80%; and (4) To partner with universities to ensure that new teachers arrive in the school system with the training needed to teach high-quality, standards-based science and mathematics curriculum.WS/FCS plans revision and compacting of the K-8 mathematics curriculum to ensure that all pre-algebra topics are addressed by the end of the 7th grade, which will facilitate successful student performance in algebra at the 8th grade. Similarly, the District has created a plan to infuse science standards-based, hands-on instruction at all grade levels through the implementation of reform instructional materials and to integrate this subject to mathematics and the Language Arts. A student safety-net program will be implemented consisting of bridge courses and pre-college programs. In order to ensure the coherent accomplishment of its objectives, WS/FCS will organize Vertical Leadership Teams (VLT) consisting of a cross section of represented schools, including school principals, counselors, curriculum coordinators, teachers, students, parents, business and post-secondary partners based on a three-cohort model. A comprehensive evaluation plan will enable the leadership to assess progress in every component of the Initiative; and gather, interpret and use data to inform the planning and decision-making process.

温斯顿-塞勒姆/福赛斯县学校（WS/FCS）题为科学和数学卓越（SciMaX）的提案的目标是，所有学生毕业时都有能力从事中学后的科学和数学研究和职业。 其具体目标是：（1）在区内完成基于标准的K-12数学和科学方案的实施，为所有教室的所有学生建立高标准;（2）每年将K-8数学期末考试的熟练程度提高4%，8年级代数I提高5%，科学提高5%;（3）高等数学和科学课程的入学人数每年增加10%，总体完成率达到80%;和（4）与大学合作，确保新教师进入学校系统时接受高质量教学所需的培训，基于标准的科学和数学课程。WS/FCS计划修订和压缩K-8数学课程，以确保在7年级结束时解决所有的代数前主题，这将有助于学生在八年级代数中取得成功。 同样，该区制定了一项计划，通过实施改革教材，在所有年级灌输基于科学标准的实践教学，并将这一科目纳入数学和语言艺术。 将实施一个学生安全网计划，包括桥梁课程和大学预科课程。 为了确保其目标的一致实现，WS/FCS将组织垂直领导团队（VLT），由代表学校的横截面组成，包括校长，辅导员，课程协调员，教师，学生，家长，企业和高等教育合作伙伴基于三个队列模型。 一个全面的评价计划将使领导层能够评估倡议每个组成部分的进展情况;收集、解释和使用数据，为规划和决策进程提供信息。
