The??common core? state standards for grades K-12?have been released. Much will need to happen if these standards and related assessments are to get traction in American education over the next few years. But we at the?Fordham Institute are looking even further ahead: we're considering the issues that will determine the long-term viability of this endeavor. Read our background papers that help answer the questions:

- Who will ?own? these standards (and related assessments) 20 years from now?
- How will this work?
- Who will pay for it?
