H. B. No. 597


Representatives Thompson, Huffman 



A BILL
To repeal and replace the Common Core Initiative 1
academic standards and related assessment system. 2


BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:

       Section 1. It is the General Assembly's intent that sections 3
of the Revised Code be amended, enacted, or repealed to rescind 4
the adoption of the Common Core Initiative academic standards as 5
the state's primary and secondary academic content standards in 6
English language arts and mathematics and to replace them with 7
academic content standards that have been proven and tested and 8
will ensure the maintenance of local control over the 9
implementation and use of the standards. The new academic 10
standards and assessments will not be dependent or related to 11
federal control but, instead, will be state-driven and incorporate 12
participation by parents, teachers, and school districts in their 13
development. Further, the assessments shall be administered in a 14
manner that ensures that student data privacy is protected. 15
