Bill Summary

Relative to the education standards set by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. Education.

AI Summary

This bill nullifies the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education's 2010 adoption of the national Common Core standards in English language arts and mathematics. Instead, it requires Massachusetts to use its own assessment based on the state's own curriculum frameworks as the standard for scholastic achievement. The bill also directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to examine and update the existing academic standards and MCAS assessment, with input from a special commission appointed by the governor and consisting of educators, teachers, administrators, school committee members, parents, and concerned citizens.
