In a speech to the state Board of Education, the governor slapped the federal government for its involvement in education and tying federal aid to states complying with certain standards. And he decried a "one-size-fits-all mentality" about education.
But Ducey, who campaigned on a promise to repeal Common Core, said he does not support House-passed legislation to entirely blow up the standards, calling that "unnecessary."
Instead, he directed the board, working with parents, teachers, students and others, to use the standards as a starting point for a "light of the day review" of what exists now and creating what would be Arizona standards.
