An American Family Radio News (One News Now) report on the Douglas County Board of Education’s resolution opposing Common Core featured comments by senior education policy analyst Ben DeGrow:

“Douglas County is saying that they want to strive for highest academic standards and expectations possible for their students, and the Common Core is not appropriate to meet those standards for them,” DeGrow tells OneNewsNow.

A push for world-class education standards is part of Dougco’s bold threefold strategic plan, which also includes the Blueprint for Choice and higher systems performance through changes to educator pay and evaluations.

A full copy of the school board’s largely symbolic resolution against Common Core State Standards, adopted on July 16, is available on the Douglas County website.
