Barb Denofa The Pennsylvania Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC) will be voting at a public meeting on Thursday, Nov. 21, on the chapter 4 revisions that put Pennsylvania public schools in line with the national Common Core standards. They are accepting public comment through Monday, Nov. 18th. You can contact them with your concerns about Common Core at: [email protected] (If you go on the IRRC home page, you can sign up for notifications on what is happening with different regulatory boards. The regulatory apparatus in Harrisburg is quite mind-boggling! ) State House Education Committee Chairman Clymer doesnt seem to think the Pennsylvania Core Standards (Common Core) is an issue.
