"A state Senate compromise on a bill to repeal the Common Core State Standards in South Carolina is getting mixed reviews from some critics in Horry County, while school district officials defend the standards, which already are being used in the schools.

A Senate education subcommittee on Wednesday forwarded a proposal that would keep the standards in place and review them no later than 2018. It also stipulates that standards coming from outside the state be approved by the General Assembly."
