| Subject: More States Seek to Repeal Common Core - Opponents say the standards are a federal overreach into education Fri Jan 31, 2014 6:55 pm | |
| As states nationwide continue to implement the Common Core State Standards in public schools, some activists and lawmakers are making strides in efforts to repeal or repackage the controversial academic benchmarks.
In Indiana, the state Senate's Education and Career Development Committee voted Wednesday to send a measure repealing the standards to the Senate floor. The bill would do away with current instruction based off the standards, and task the State Board of Education with creating new college-and-career-ready standards by July 1. In May, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed into law a measure that halted any further implementation of the Common Core until the state board of education conducts an evaluation of the standards.
