Inside Track
A lawmaker in Maine has prefiled a bill to be considered in the next legislative session that would exempt Maine from the mandates of the federal Common Core standards.
State representative Will Tuell is leading a bipartisan bloc of 10 legislators promoting LD 1492, a proposal that would amend the laws governing education standards in Maine. Section 2 of the bill explicitly invalidates the educational standards established as part of the federal Common Core program:
The content standards of the system of learning results for English language arts and mathematics that were formulated to align with the Common Core State Standards Initiative standards pursuant to Public Law 2009, chapter 647 are void at the end of the 2016-2017 school year.
