Directs the State Board of Education (Board) to replace its current mathematics and English language arts courses of study, adopted in June 2010, with new courses of study in those subject matters that are consistent with specified standard courses of study, subject to minor changes necessary to meet North Carolina-specific educational needs, and directs the Board to adopt student assessments consistent with those changes, to be taught and assessed beginning with the 2018-19 school year. Requires that local school administrative units offer only the traditional sequence of mathematics course for Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, instead of Math I, Math II, and Math III. Directs the Board to report to the General Assembly and the Joint Legislative Education Oversight Committee by March 15, 2018, the new standard courses of study, a summary of the differences between the new course of study and its predecessor, and the corresponding changes to student assessments.
