I appreciate Rep. Brian Greene’s recent statement on his Facebook page, in reference to the recent KSL article. He said that the state school board should not ask the Legislature “to validate the board’s adoption of Common Core by quashing public opposition to it. ”
Amen.
Funny how the state school board wants to make it clear that they have full authority over public education, but want the Legislature to validate their adoption of CC by quashing public opposition to it. If the Board is so committed to CC, they need to begin acting like the elected officers they are and take their message directly to the voters and stop acting like unaccountable bureaucrats.

The State School Board has unanimously passed two resolutions that state official positions on the Utah Core Standards and the security of personal student information.

Christel Lane Swasey Few people realize that to get our state school board elected, it’s a sickeningly unrepresentative process. The Governor appoints just two people as choices for voters. And those two go had to through a narrowing process by the current school board. Currently, the questionairre asked of school board candidates starts with the question: Do You Support Common Core? So there is no one allowed into this powerful circle who believes in liberty and local control of education. Thanks, Brian Greene and Renee LaPray Braddy and Bryan Turner.

The State School Board is in no way involved with the narrowing of candidates for the State Board of Education. An independent committee, appointed by the Governor and representing various groups (Utah Code 20A-14-104), interviews candidates and makes recommendations to the Governor. Any questions asked candidates are developed by the nominating committee. Current State Board members are bright, dedicated, committed to education, and to the best of my knowledge all beleive in liberty and local control.
Mr. Menlove, I wonder if you would define more specifically what local control means to you. I feel like this is a term for which there are a number of different interpretations.
I must say I did consider whether to add to the feedback or not.
