A rather expensive development has surfaced on the way to installing Common Core in Californias hundreds of school districts statewide. Officials have figured out that the big government initiative could collectively cost districts $1 billion every year to set up a new statewide testing system supporting the new curriculum.
The question is, whos going to pay for it? According to the Santa Ana School District, the state, not the district, should foot the bill. Santa Ana along with three other school districts submitted a class action complaint, demanding that California pay for the next generation Smarter Balanced Assessments based on national Common Core standards.
The Orange County Register reported that the Santa Ana Unified school district, which consists of 57,000 students, projects $12 million in district costs pertaining to the Common Core tests, which includes $8.1 million for devices, $3.3 million for bandwidth and infrastructure, plus other significant outlays for accessories and training.

Liberalism is madness.
Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, become teachers.
Those who can’t become teachers, become journolistas.
Those who can’t become journolistas, become bureaucrats.
BOHICA, Californians, BOHICA.
But what about Jesus and the disciples?
Jesus could do, and he taught as well.
The disciples could teach, and were [in some sense] journalists [the gospels].
But yeah, everyone agrees on the uselessness of bureaucrats. ;)

Bend Over Here It Comes Again
That’s not real, is it?
Unfortunately — the bill isn’t being sent to Brown to pay out of his own pocket.

Urban Dictionary
BOHICA. acronym, although pronounced as if it is a single word, for “Bend over! Here it comes again.”
Obviously, I was referencing teachers since the 1960’s - not Christ.
Sheesh...are you a teacher?
In the example I was wondering where the 81 came from.
That is priceless.
The purpose of Common Core is to utterly destroy a child’s ability to learn.
Common Core was developed by Bill Ayers.
Common Core is evil.
Are you suggesting that Jesus could not?
Your post makes no sense as Jesus covered all of it.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that California taxpayers will pay the 1 billion dollars to line the pockets of Bill Ayers and his fellow communists!
“..raise taxes on already over-taxed Californians.”
The DemocRat government of Taxifornia can afford in excess of TEN BILLION DOLLARS per year to support ILLEGAL aliens in the state, but cannot afford road repair or adequate water storage for its LEGAL residents.
And the mindless liberal voting base keeps putting them back in to continue destroying Taxifornia. Businesses and high wage earners are leaving the state in droves. The economics of liberal socialist politics at work.
“”Common Core was developed by Bill Ayers.
Common Core is evil.””
Yes, evil might be one name for it but developed by Bill Ayers???? Really??? I think that’s bad info.
