MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)   BILL NUMBER: A5142 SPONSOR: Graf (MS)
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the common core state standards initiative   PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to withdraw New York State from the common core program.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the education law is amended by adding new section 115, which shall discontinue implementation of the common core state stand- ards. Section 2 is the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: The common core program is having a detrimental impact on our children, parents, teachers, administrators, and our school budgets. These programs have shifted the emphasis away from actual learning, and instead have focused purely on testing and data collection. The mandates that are required in order to comply with these programs are causing a great amount of frustration and uncertainty in our educa- tional institutions. These programs have reduced the instructional time allocated to our children's educational experience. The cost of implementation far exceed the amounts received from these programs and have become a financial burden upon our schools. This one- size-fits-all program has proven to be unsuccessful, detrimental, and ineffective, and therefore the State of New York should and must with- draw from these programs immediately.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: A. 7994 of 2013-14. This bill differs from that of the old bill by leav- ing out the provision to withdraw New York State from the Race to the Top program. The reason for this is that the Race to the Top program is no longer in effect.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
