Bill > HB05314

This bill proposes to modify existing education statutes to give local and regional school boards the flexibility to opt out of implementing the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), a set of academic standards in mathematics and English language arts that were developed to ensure consistent educational expectations across states. By permitting school districts to choose alternative educational standards for developing and implementing their curriculum, the bill aims to provide more local control over educational standards. The proposed change would allow individual school districts to select curriculum standards that they believe better suit their specific community's educational needs, moving away from the uniform national standards established by the Common Core. This legislation represents a response to ongoing debates about educational standardization and local autonomy in determining educational content and approach.
