Oklahoma Education Board OKs New Standards To Replace Common Core

The Oklahoma State Board of Education has approved new standards to replace Common Core for the state's students.

The standards for English, math, health and physical education were approved during a meeting Thursday. They replace the Common Core standards that were repealed by the Legislature in 2014 amid opposition mostly from grassroots conservative groups.

The proposed new standards are to go into effect for the start of the 2016-2017 school year but must be approved the Legislature, which begins its annual session on Monday.
