Dive Brief:

• Louisiana legislators have approved (99-0) a three-part Common Core compromise bill, which now heads to Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is likely to approve it.
• The three-bill compromise asks for a review of the Common Core standards in addition to limiting the state's use of PARCC-created testing materials.
• Now that the bill has been passed, interested parties are focused on the upcoming gubernatorial and school board elections, since new blood could potentially overturn the legislation.

Dive Insight:

Louisiana's relationship with the Common Core has been one of the most difficult to watch. Jindal was once a super-advocate for the standards, but has spent the last few years doing everything in his power to see them squashed. Many sepeculate his current admonishment of the standards has more to do with his presidential aspirations.
