STEVE CATES: MISSISSIPPI WITHDRAWS FROM COMMON CORE TESTING GROUP
January 16, 2015
Mississippi will sever its ties from the controversial Common Core testing consortium known as PARCC, according to a press release sent Friday by the state Board of Education.
…..
Both Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves have called for a repeal of Common Core and the Common Core-aligned assessments developed by PARCC and given to students at the end of the school year.
Two bills introduced this week by Speaker of the House Philip Gunn also propose to do away with PARCC and Common Core.
