AI Summary

This bill aims to end the use of the Common Core curriculum standards in Massachusetts and establish new curriculum standards for schools. It rescinds the state's 2010 adoption of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts and restores the previous curriculum frameworks. The bill also requires the curriculum development process to include committees of public school teachers and academics, mandates that the frameworks be copyrighted and owned by the state, and establishes review committees to ensure the new frameworks are equivalent to the standards of the most educationally advanced nations. Additionally, the bill requires the release of all test items, including questions and responses, after assessments are administered to better inform teachers and administrators.
