Q: Standards. We should not reject standards that make sense just because they are under Common Core. @DrKathyMurphy believes in rigorous standards and in local control. She says we must look at the courses of study every year - not just every six years! #ALBOE @AlabamaDeptofEd
Common core standards. Don’t think should reject standards they make sense just because included in “common core” #alboe
Superintendent Candidate Mackey: Need to honor the Math Course of Study Committee. We agree. #alboe teapawt.net/Trish_Crain/status/987…

Q5: What is your opinion of common core? Remain, be changed, or be replaced? Mackey giving a brief overview, admits that ALCCRS and common core are "pretty much the same thing." #ALBOE
