The purpose of SB 1146 is to forbid the state board of education from implementing “any curriculum standards or related assessments aligned with” Common Core. The bill states in part:
“…the State Board of Education shall adopt revisions to the subject matter curriculum adopted by the State Board for English Language Arts and Mathematics as is necessary to remove alignment with the K-12 Common Core State Standards developed by the Common Core State Standards Initiative.”
It goes on to request that the Federal government remove any monetary penalties, such as withholding Federal money, for not adopting the standards.
“The State Board of Education shall take action to initiate a request with the United States Department of Education or any other agency of the federal government to change or amend any requirement or agreement which conditions the receipt of federal funding on the Board revising the state subject matter curriculum to align with the K-12 Common Core State Standards.”
