COMMON CORE AGENDA:
Katy ISD parents mistakenly believe that the Common Core Agenda which is being foisted on America by the Obama Administration and which has been rejected by our governor, Rick Perry, is not present in the Katy ISD schools.
Actually the Common Core curriculum most likely STARTED in Katy ISD! Leonard Merrell, a former KISD superintendent, began with the KMAC managed curriculum which morphed into CSCOPE at the State level and Common Core at the national level.
No matter its emanation, it is just more of the Outcome Based/School to Work agenda against which I fought so hard in the 1990's.
