The release of the standards marks the conclusion of the development of the Common Core State Standards
This sentence is an outright lie. The standards for math and reading comprehension are the only ones released, and are a bridge too far IMHO but there are other standards being developed that will be a part of the common core. They will not be implemented by representatives of the people except in those states where the legislature is involved and those are precious few.

...is it just myself (or is it the new Core standards), but I do believe the above is not a complete sentence...lacks a verb in a key spot...
