New York: Nullify Common Core Action Steps

On January 8, A07994 a bill to block implementation of Common Core standards in New York was re-introduced(learn about it here); it is the same as S06267 introduced earlier in the Senate. It was referred to the House Education Committee where it will need to pass by majority vote before the full Assembly can consider it.

YOUR ACTION IS NEEDED NOW.  It doesn’t matter where in New York you live, take these actions today.

1. Call the Committee Chair, Catherine Nolan.  Strongly, but respectfully urge Him to move this important bipartisan bill forward to a vote in his committee.  A phone call has 10x the impact of an email.
