What’s in it
This bill eliminates requirements and references to the (Iowa) common core or core curriculum and to core content standards, but continues to direct the state board of education to adopt high school graduation requirements and academic and content standards. Provisions directing school districts to cooperate with each eighth grade student on a core curriculum plan to meet core curriculum requirements are amended to replace “core curriculum plan” with “graduation plan” and “core curriculum requirements” with “high school graduation requirements”.
Read the full explanation
The academic standards will remain applicable to all students in kindergarten through grade 12 in every school district and accredited nonpublic school. Corresponding changes are made throughout the Code, and obsolete language is eliminated. The bill takes effect upon enactment.
