Common Core Repeal Faces Test at Okla. Supreme Court
By The Associated Press Oklahoma CityA lawsuit that challenges the legislature's repeal of common core education standards for English and math is being scrutinized by Oklahoma's highest court just one month before public school students are scheduled to return to the classroom.
Parents, teachers and four members of the seven-member Oklahoma Board of Education accuse lawmakers of violating the board's constitutional authority over the "supervision of instruction in the public schools" when they repealed common core standards scheduled to go into effect in the upcoming school year. Some fear Oklahoma students will fall behind because of the change.
