National Parent Alert

Virginia did not adopt this Curricula; however, they asked
for the option to participate in the future. You should
be aware that the public schools will be controlled by the
Federal Government - already in 45 states, which took federal money and permission to opt out of portions of "No Child Left Behind."

Learn about the Common Core K-12 Curricula -
· How Common Core violates elementary & Secondary Education Act
· Forces national curriculum, instructional materials and tests
· US DOE violates Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
· Longitudinal Data Tracking System (LDTS), which abolishes
parental consent, and releases student data?.

TOGETHER, WE CAN RETAIN LOCAL CONTROL OF EDUCATION
· Origins of Common Core curricula, and how?
· Common Core will prevent parents/school boards from making any changes?
· Your privacy rights and your child's will be sacrificed by instituting a "Big Brother" student data tracking system?
· National standards do more harm than good?
· This new vision for our nation will advance unlimited
government.
