Quietly and almost without notice, an initiative which significantly erodes local and state control of school curriculum passed in 46 states – including New York State!

The April 3rd General Club Meeting featured informative presentations on the Common Core State Standards Initiative by two dynamic speakers. Here is the complete video of their presentations in five parts.

Madeleine Sharp, a Long Island Mom shares her research and insights into this  federal/corporate takeover since the beginning of her amazing journey through every last detail of “Common Core” as the direct result of her own family’s personal battle with the NYS Education Dept.

Doug Smith is the Constitutent Services Director for Assemblyman Al Graf (R,C District 5, Holbrook), who sponsored Assembly bills to withdraw NYS from the Common Core and Race to the Top programs.
