From the article: "The Senate on Thursday unanimously approved a bill that replaces Common Core education standards with those developed in South Carolina by the 2015-16 school year."
SC tries to schedule replacement of common core within two years by taking the time to write their own standards that will meet RTTT requirements. The bill requires technology spending in classrooms, which was key to winning over rural legislators.
