Watchdog Wire has learned that Colorado Commissioner of Education Robert Hammond has a potential conflict of interest, springing from his membership on a board of a non-profit doing business with the state. Hammond has a dual role on the governing board of Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC), a non-profit that stands to benefit from the state’s participation in its national testing consortium. |

The bill to roll back Common Core has passed the House AND the Senate. Let's see if Governor Fallin will listen to the people and sign it. She is the chair of NGA, so her actions carry A LOT of weight.
The Colorado Legacy Foundation has been a funnel of Gates money to Colorado schools and it holds the strings that came with that money. Now, the Foundation has changed its name. It is a tactic that we have seen regarding the standards, the funders, and the initiatives. But it's nothing we can't keep up with.
