Common Core position
Adopted CCSS Nov 29, 2010 (implemented 2014-15). Math: 2018 revision remained substantially CCSS-based; the Board of Education Standards unanimously voted May 4, 2026 to adopt entirely new, explicitly non-Common-Core math standards (drawing on other states and the Hillsdale College-linked 'Archimedes Standards'), effective July 2027. ELA: adopted new 'Science of Reading'-aligned standards April 14, 2025; officials describe this as replacing Common Core, though press analysis found a majority of content still reflects the prior CCSS-aligned standards.
