NCSL Position on Common State Standards

• State legislators support voluntary state standards initiatives so long as they:– Remain voluntary– State-led and State administered– Fed. gov’t doesn’t overstep its role– U.S. Dept. of Edu. doesn’t condition receipt of fed.

NCSL Position on Common State Standards

• Causes for concern:– U.S. Dept. of Ed. Race to the Top funds included

common standards a criterion for eligibility– $350 million in federal ARRA funds to develop the

common assessments – The federal government has a history of co-opting

successful state policy
