Any substitute language for SB 167 that passes the House must (1) clearly prohibit the State School Board from adopting, re-adopting, or implementing national standards or participating in the national standards movement; (2) starting in September 2014, allow local school systems flexibility to tailor their curriculum and instruction so that they are no longer locked into Common Core standards; and (3) protect students from corporate data-mining, federal data-collection, and an invasive student-tracking system. Any bill that does not accomplish these things will be considered nothing but a political ploy to allow legislators to claim they voted against Common Core when they did no such thing. The legislative session ends this Thursday, March 20. We must remain diligent in the fight for the children of Georgia.
