Common Core Repeal Bill Change

A state Senate committee has made a key change to the Common Core repeal bill that would ultimately leave it up to individual school systems whether to adopt the education standards or not.  Multiple media outlets report that the Senate Education Policy Committee didn't vote on the bill Wednesday, however.  Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh offered the amendment.  The bill's sponsor, Sen. Rusty Glover, was unable to make the meeting.  The state Board of Education approved the Common Core standards in 2010.  The bill could now come up for a vote in committee at any time.
