Alabama Course of Study
The State Board of Education opted NOT to rescind the course of study standards for mathematics and language arts.
Governor Bentley and Board Members Stephanie Bell and Betty Peters proposed rescinding the current course of study standards that are based on Common Core State Standards. Instead of rescinding the standards, the board voted 6-3 to pass a resolution to move forward with the common standards. The resolution passed includes an admonishment for any efforts by the federal government to control or influence standards.
Also, Dr. Tommy Bice was named Superintendent!
