Common Core Standards Cost Exceeds RTTT Stimulus Funds
States and Localities Projected To Shed Lots of Dollars for the National Standards
The Obama Administration spent an unprecedented $4.35 billion in Stimulus money to create an incentive for states to join the Common Core Standards and compete in the Race to the Top competition.
All but five states (Virginia, Texas, Nebraska, Alaska, and Minnesota) jumped on the Common Core bandwagon, salivating for an outsized piece of the $4.35 billion in Stimulus money.
Bad fiscal decision.
