Hudson Votes to End Common Core
 
WASHINGTON, D.C.– Today U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) voted to permanently end Washington’s mandate on Common Core.
 
“By extorting states to adopt Common Core, this administration has pursued unprecedented measures to strengthen its hold on our local classrooms. Today’s vote to end Common Core is the linchpin in getting Washington’s bureaucrats out of our local classrooms and returning control back to teachers, parents and students. As the son of a retired Cabarrus County public school teacher, I’ll continue to fight to get the federal government out of our classrooms and ensure our schools can continue to build an environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed.”
 
The Student Success Act (H.R. 5) reforms the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), ends No Child Left Behind, and empowers states, local communities, teachers and parents to make the best decision for their children by:
 
  • Eliminating the Secretary of Education’s ability to promote the adoption of Common Core or any other particular academic standards or assessmentsby prohibiting the federal government from tying state adoption to the receipt of federal funds or waivers of K-12 education law.
  • Prohibiting the Secretary from influencing in any way the partnerships states form and the assessments states choose to use, thereby ensuring decisions to adopt and implement any particular standards or assessments lie solely with state and local leaders.
  •  Excluding authorization for programs the Secretary has used to coerce states to adopt preferred policies, including Race to the Top.
  • Preventing the Secretary from imposing additional burdens on states and school districtsthrough the regulatory process in areas of standards, assessments and state accountability plans.
