Massachusetts S396 rescinds the adoption of Common Core standards and reinstates previous curriculum frameworks.

Massachusetts S396 rescinds the adoption of Common Core standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts, restoring the curriculum frameworks in effect prior to July 21, 2010. The bill establishes three review committees for math, science and technology, and English, composed of public school teachers and academics from Massachusetts colleges and universities. These committees will ensure the new frameworks meet the standards of the most educationally advanced nations. The Commissioner of Education must release test items for each grade and subject before the new school year begins.
