AN ACT PERMITTING SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO OPT OUT OF THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS.

HB 5314 would allow school districts to choose not to follow the Common Core State Standards for their curriculum. It amends state law to permit local school boards to adopt alternative standards instead. The bill directly affects public school districts by giving them legal authority to develop their own curriculum frameworks. This is a procedural change that modifies existing statutes to enable district-level curriculum decisions. The policy change is limited to permitting opt-outs without requiring districts to adopt specific alternative standards.
