AI Summary
This bill aims to end the use of the Common Core curriculum in Massachusetts and establish new curriculum standards for schools. It rescinds the state's adoption of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts, and restores the previous curriculum frameworks. The bill also requires the establishment of review committees composed of Massachusetts public school teachers and university academics to develop new curriculum frameworks, which must be approved by a two-thirds vote and deemed equivalent to the standards of the most educationally advanced nations. Additionally, the bill mandates the release of all test items used in diagnostic assessments before the start of the new school year to better inform teachers and administrators.
