Governor Andrew Cuomo has launched the Common Core Task Force, which is charged with reviewing and making recommendations to overhaul the state's current Common Core standards and testing.

The group is made up of education officials, teachers, parents and state representatives from across New York.

Governor Cuomo believes that the learning standards should be strong, accurate and fair, because having the highest standards is critical to ensuring that students are educated and prepared for their futures in college or the workforce. However, the Common Core program’s flawed rollout by the State Education Department has caused disruption and anxiety that must be fixed, including testing aligned to the standards.

The governor has also created a website to encourage public participation.

The Task Force will make its final recommendations by the end of the year.
