Common Core bites the dust

In December 2014, Senator Tate Reeves released a statement supporting Governor Phil Bryant in the opposition of common core and agreed that it was becoming evident that it was a failure.  They are now in favor of Mississippi coming up with their own standards.  However, this would likely mean bringing in high dollar consultants and could cost upwards of 100 million dollars.   Education chairman Moore says that this would mean that the Mississippi adequate education fund wouldn't be funded anytime soon because the money has to come from somewhere.  Ultimately they decided to quietly change the name of common core so that many people wouldn't realize it.
