Contentious Common Core bill up for vote this week
Senate passes bill to review school standards; House up next
Placeholder Image
Tensions over what academic standards Georgia adheres to have been simmering in Atlanta and could possibly boil over this week when a bill designed to radically change state education heads for a vote in the state House of Representatives. The bill passed in the Senate, 34-16, and calls for a review of Common Core standards. The legislation technically bans state officials from adopting standards prescribed by the federal government or other organizations going forward.
