AL HB558

Terminates adoption and implementation of Common Core Standards (also known as Alabama College and Career Ready Standards) in all K-12 public schools.

Directs State Board of Education to replace Common Core Standards with pre-Common Core courses of study for Math (in place until May 2011) and English Language Arts (in place until May 2012) effective for 2016-2017 school year, called Transition Standards.

Requires State Board to develop updated standards based on pre-Common Core state standards that ranked in top 10 percent nationally, to be implemented in 2017-2018 school year as Alabama Ahead Standards.

Prohibits adoption of any national standards from any source (including Next Generation Science Standards, History Standards, Social Studies Standards, or Sexuality Standards) and prevents state participation in consortiums that would cede control of Alabama education standards.

Directs termination of federal flexibility waiver agreement with U.S. Department of Education and grants Alabama citizens standing to sue for enforcement of the act.
