AR SR4

Authorizes Representative Alexander to introduce legislation placing a moratorium on Common Core State Standards Initiative implementation until January 1, 2017.

Prohibits state agencies, school districts, public schools, and education service cooperatives from expending state, federal, or local funds on materials, programs, activities, or assessments related to Common Core or similar national standards initiatives.

Bans funding for training on Common Core, educational materials incorporating Common Core standards, student data collection beyond 2011-2012 baseline, and assessments like Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers or Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.

Declares an emergency exists due to insufficient understanding of Common Core and potential harm to state educational gains, allowing the act to take effect immediately upon gubernatorial approval, veto expiration, or veto override.
