Sounds like Common Core may be on it's way out. This is awesome news. EO gives Devos 300 days to review and modify/repeal, if necessary, any federal over-stepping from previous administrations.

President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday to start pulling the federal government out of K-12 education, following through on a campaign promise to return school control to state and local officials.
The order, dubbed the “Education Federalism Executive Order,” will launch a 300-day review of Obama-era regulations and guidance for school districts and directs Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to modify or repeal measures she deems an overreach by the federal government.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that aims to reduce the federal government's role in K-12 education.
Trump is giving Education Secretary Betsy DeVos just short of a year — 300 days — to identify areas where Washington has overstepped its legal authority in education, and modify and repeal regulations and guidance from her department, if necessary. A report will be returned to the White House and eventually made public, officials said.
Trump complained that the government over the years has forced states and schools to comply with "federal whims." He said the order will help restore local control over education.
