The Education Oversight Committee approved new math and reading standards 11 to 1, clearing the Board of Education for a final okay. The plan, backed by supporters as more rigorous, keeps 90 percent of the Common Core in place while adding coins money lessons, multiplication fluency, and cursive writing. Deb Marks opposed, urging a longer review and delaying replacement.
