Governor Signs Bill Requiring State to Replace Common Core<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>By\u00a0Andrew Ujifusa<br \/>\nJune 4, 2014<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Republican Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina has signed a bill that requires the state to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scstatehouse.gov\/sess120_2013-2014\/bills\/3893.htm\" target=\"_blank\">adopt new content standards for the 2015-16 school year<\/a>\u00a0and drop the Common Core State Standards.<\/p>\n<p>In effect, this means that South Carolina has become the second state to drop the common standards, although the actual replacement of common core with &#8220;new&#8221; standards won&#8217;t take place until the 2015-16 year. The common core will remain in place in South Carolina for the 2014-15 school year. So the so-called repeal of the common core in the Palmetto State hasn&#8217;t technically gone into effect yet.<\/p>\n<p>Haley, an outspoken opponent of the common core, signed the bill May 30.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a twist in the legislation: If the South Carolina Department of Education develops new standards, then the state school board and the Education Oversight Committee (a non-legislative but official government entity in the state) must sign off on them. That&#8217;s standard procedure right now. However, under the new law, any new standards not developed by the state education department also have to be approved by a joint resolution of the legislature.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.edweek.org\/edweek\/state_edwatch\/2014\/06\/south_carolina_gov_haley_signs_bill_to.html\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S.C.
