Summary of SD 1282: An Act for the End of Common Core

Overview

SD 1282 is a proposed bill that would repeal the state's adoption of the Common Core educational standards and establish new curriculum standards for public schools.

Key Provisions

  • Repeals the state's current adoption of the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics
  • Directs the State Board of Education to develop and adopt new statewide academic content standards in English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies by July 1, 2027
  • Requires the new standards to emphasize classic literature, foundational mathematical concepts, and US history and government
  • Prohibits the State Board of Education from adopting any new standards developed by multi-state consortia or the federal government without specific legislative approval

Potential Impact

  • If enacted, this bill would eliminate the Common Core standards currently used in the state's public schools and replace them with new standards developed by the State Board of Education.
  • The new standards would focus more on "classic" academic content versus the skills-based approach of Common Core.
  • Students, teachers, and schools would need to transition to the new standards and curriculum, which could disrupt educational continuity in the short term.
  • Supporters argue the bill will improve educational quality by returning to more traditional academic content. Critics are concerned it could create inconsistencies and lower academic standards across the state.

Timeline

  • The bill was introduced in the state legislature on February 27, 2025.
  • It has passed the state Senate and the House has now concurred, sending it to the governor for signature or veto.
  • If signed into law, the State Board of Education would have until July 1, 2027 to develop and adopt the new academic standards.
