The short explanation of this alert was:

Help Give a Final Push to Stop Core Curriculum- Defend Public Schools from more UNFUNDED MANDATES!!! - OEA Opposed to SB 311/HB 565

The Ohio Core Curriculum legislation is close to being stopped in the House of Representatives. Help prevent the legislature from rushing this unfunded legislation by keeping the pressure on! Join the fight to defend public schools from more unfunded mandates by emailing your state representative. Give them some final encouragement to oppose the Core unless it is funded properly. Tell them to slow down and fix the problems with Ohio Core in the next General Assembly, where funding and capacity issues for school districts can be adequately addressed!!!

Political leaders are playing dirty to get the Core Curriculum passed despite significant opposition. Senate Bill 311 was recently passed out of House Education Committee, but only after John Husted, the Speaker of the House, removed five Republican members of the commitee who planned to vote NO. He replaced them with five other Republicans from his leadership team who promised him to vote YES. Take action now and help stop these tactics!!!

The Bill:

Senate Bill 311 and House Bill 565 propose the establishment of a new Ohio Core Curriculum with more math and science requirements.
Completion of the new curriculum would be required for graduation from all public, community, and private schools, beginning with the graduating Class of 2011-2012.
Completion of the new curriculum would be required in order to be eligible for admission to Ohio's 4-year universities.
