   A compelling reason to write your local school board members is to bring up the costs of Common Core. The linked article from the Washington Times offers a summary of hidden and unanticipated costs. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/nov/4/race-to-the-tops-hidden-price-tag/ A more scholarly article is one from the Center for Research, Regional Education and Outreach. State University of New York at New Paltz by Kenneth
   Mitchell, Lower Hudson Council of School Superintendents. The link
   http://www.newpaltz.edu/crreo/brief_8_education.pdf does not open for me but the report can be found online. Search for RTTT Costs. Imagine the consequences if Idaho’s small districts are forced into a financial crisis. What happens to local control? What happens to a community when the school goes away?
