Meeting about Common Core in Abbeville on Tuesday

There will be a town hall meeting Tuesday to talk about Common Core.
The public is invited to attend the meeting, which will be held at Magdalen Place, downtown Abbeville.
It will begin at 5:30 p.m.
Those putting on the meeting are encouraging parents and teachers to bring questions.
Sen. Jonathan Perry and Rep. Bob Hensgens, and Rep. Brett Geymann will be on hand.
Also, BESE Board member Jane Smith and Anna Arthurs, a grass roots Common Core activist.
“The people were left out of the process in the adoption of Common Core,” said Rep. Geymann. “This town hall meeting is an opportunity for their voices to be heard and a way for them to learn how they can be involved in taking control back, regarding the education of our
students.”
Rep. Hensgens added, “Brett is correct. The BESE Board went around and asked for the crowds grass roots help on exiting Common Core and protecting Louisiana’s sovereignty in education.”
