OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A trio of experts in education standards will deliver presentations to a steering committee responsible for helping develop new academic standards in Oklahoma.
The steering committee was formed after the Legislature repealed Common Core.
The Oklahoma Academic Standards Steering Committee will meet Monday and Tuesday in Oklahoma City. The meetings are open to the public and can be accessed online through a link at the Oklahoma State Department of Education website (www.sde.ok.gov ).
It will be the first steering meeting for newly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister.
Oklahoma must rewrite its state education standards after Republican legislators last year repealed the Common Core standards that were to take effect this school year. The new standards are to be ready for the 2016-2017 school year.
