Bill Summary

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

AI Summary

This bill nullifies the 2010 adoption of the national Common Core standards in English language arts and mathematics by the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. It requires the state of Massachusetts to instead use its own assessment based on the state's own curriculum frameworks as the standard for scholastic achievement. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) will conduct an examination of academic standards and update and revise the existing frameworks and Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) assessment. The governor will appoint a special commission, chaired by the lieutenant governor and composed of educators, teachers, administrators, school committee members, parents, and concerned citizens, to provide input and assist DESE in developing new standards to be submitted to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education for final approval and adoption.
