Here is the proof from the Federal Government that what PEACCS, MACC and others have been warning you about the loss of local control is not a conspiracy theory.
As PEACCS (Parents and Educators Against Common Core Standards) has warned, Common Core and its many tentacles have always been a top down take over of local control thrusting an unproven, untested, heavily agendized curriculum upon the States, all while filling the pockets of corporate interests who have no interest in the actual educational improvements of our children.
Here is the language of the new “law” copied from the website. Below is the link to the site.
Title: Title I–Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged
Abstract:
The Secretary will amend the regulations governing title I, part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended (ESEA), to phase out the authority of States to define modified academic achievement standards and develop alternate assessments based on those modified academic achievement standards in order to satisfy ESEA accountability requirements. These amendments will permit, as a transitional measure, States that meet certain criteria to continue to administer alternate assessments based on modified academic achievement standards and include the results in accountability determinations, subject to limitations on the number of proficient scores that may be counted, for a limited period of time.
In case you would like to inquire to our Federal Government as to why this is necessary since Common Core is the greatest educational program ever, here is the contact information for the DOE contact.
