Metcalf on Common Core NC panel OKs draft bill to replace Common Core, MyFOX8 Raw Link: http://myfox8.com/2014/04/25/nc-panel-oks-draft-bill-to-replace-common-core/ Excerpt: Members of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Board of Education and district officials have repeatedly lamented the difficulties of implementing Common Core curriculum without enough money from the state for textbooks and instructional materials to match. Statewide, funding for textbooks fell from a high of nearly $111.2 million in the 2009-10 school year to about $23.2 million this year. North Carolina adopted the Common Core standards three years ago and implemented them last school year.
Individual members have not agreed on the best way to address those issues, though. Jeannie Metcalf said she is glad to see the state moving away from Common Core.
I hope we can move forward and develop some standards that people in North Carolina think are good standards for North Carolina, she said.
