List of Common Core Corporate Sponsors and State Chiefs

Common Core Chief State Officers had 2013 Legislative Conference March 17-19 in Washington DC.  It's interesting that it is listed as a legislative conference as state legislatures (and Congress) have had no idea on what these state chiefs and private interests have decided for states and local school districts.

On page 2/48 of the conference material (the first page) it states CCSSO is:

Supporting states in transforming education systems and policies.

Translated: a private trade organization is crafting plans/mandates that states must follow to receive federal funding.  It's supporting states in telling them how CCSSO will develop education and how the states then need to deliver the CCSSO mandate.

Read through the document. Find out who is selling out your state sovereignty on the state level and what private corporations are making money from the CCSSO/Department of Education takeover blueprint of public education.

If you think local school districts and states should have the right to transform education systems and policies and not consortia and private trade organizations receiving stimulus funding tied to federal mandates, sign the petition to rid Missouri of common core state standards.
