Issue Position: Common Core

Issue Position

I believe in local control and high state standards. While the state of Ohio adopted Common Core, local school districts may choose whether to adopt it. To deal with the concerns surrounding data collection, testing and many other issues, I introduced several bills in 2014, including HB 487 which is now law. I have also explained why I did not support HB 237, or the discharge petition for that bill. I am awaiting the completion of the hearings on HB 597 before making a final determination on that bill. I will continue to promote HB 181 and 193, and the many resolutions, compromises and fixes found in HB 487.
