On Monday Nov 4th at Kingswood Church in Blaine, MACC will be hosting another informational meeting on Common Core. If you have not attended one of the informational meetings, we urge you to come and bring a friend or two whom you think would be interested in learning about Common Core.
Keeping you informed on CCSS in Minnesota
