(Hour 3a) Rich has a video of a a NH DOE Official telling the Alton School Board “there are no federal funds tied to the adoption of Common Core.” Of course, Manchester’s new Superintendent, Dr. Debra Livingston, said there’s $21 million attached… Get the details.

Correction: Rich has a video of DoE Division of Instruction Director Heather Gage in which
she said “there are no federal funds tied to the adoption of Common Core.”
thanks
Virginia Barry’s promises that aligning to CCSS is “voluntary” in each district, yet she promised to get ALL DISTRICTS aligned to CCSS in her NCLB Waiver application.

“By District: New Hampshire districts are at varying developmental stages in their experience and
practice with performance assessments that are standards-aligned. Therefore, we propose that
roll-out by district take place in three stages, with an early adopter group of districts selected to
start up in 2013-2014, a second cohort to launch in 2014-2015, and the final cohort in 2015-
2016. The early adopter and middle cohort districts would be districts who volunteer to
participate, with the REMAINING districts falling into the third and final cohort.”
However, according to DoE Heather Gage, “there is no federal funds tied to the adoption of Common Core.”
great catch!
