All Massachusetts school age children will ultimately be mandated to participate in the newly adopted national Common Core standards and data collection program. Who created this program? Who voted to adopt it? Will it lower Massachusetts teaching standards? Who will be collecting data about my child and why? How much will it cost?

Come and be Informed
Only YOU can decide what is best for your children!

Sponsored by The Common Core Study Group, in conjunction with the Watertown, Belmont, and Newton Republican Committees and the 5th Chapter of the Massachusetts Republican Assembly.
