BISMARCK, N.D. (KFGO-AM) - North Dakota's House is slated to vote this week whether or not to repeal new state English and math standards that outline what students should know and when.
The House Education Committee voted 9-4 last week to give the bill a do-not-pass recommendation. The full House is expected to vote on it this week.
Fargo Republican Rep. Jim Kasper is sponsoring the legislation to repeal Common Core education standards for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Kasper and other critics believe the standards represent a federal takeover of education.
North Dakota School Superintendent Kirsten Baesler says more than 130 educators from the state were involved in helping develop the Common Core standards.
