Evidence

"As a former member of the Education and the Workforce Committee, I support legislation to put restraints on the Washington bureaucrats, rein in the Department of Education, support school choice, eliminate the train wreck of Common Core, and put the keys to our children’s education and future back in local control."

Official House issue page shows Carter publicly endorsing eliminating Common Core, which supports that the promise existed but does not by itself show fulfillment.

Carter said the Every Student Succeeds Act would "prevent one-size-fits-all standards like Common Core" and "prohibit the Obama Administration’s federally prescribed education standards and end Washington’s intrusion into our nation’s classrooms."

Carter advanced legislation to limit federal influence over standards and framed it as an anti-Common Core step, but the statement shows a restraint on federal coercion rather than elimination of Common Core itself.

The enacted law says the Secretary shall not attempt to influence, incentivize, or coerce State adoption of the Common Core State Standards and that a State shall not be required to submit its standards for review or approval.

Congress enacted a law that barred federal coercion regarding Common Core, but the text does not eliminate Common Core nationwide and leaves states free to keep or revise their standards.

ESSA was signed by President Obama on December 10, 2015 and shifted decision-making authority to the states.

Official Education Department context confirms the federal government did not take control over eliminating Common Core, reinforcing that the promise was not fully deliverable through federal office.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Carter materially supported and voted for federal legislation, including ESSA-related measures, that restricted federal coercion or incentivizing of state adoption of Common Core and shifted standards authority toward states. However, the promise was to eliminate Common Core, and the enacted federal outcome did not abolish Common Core nationwide or require states to drop it. Because he achieved a meaningful anti-Common Core federal policy change but not the full promised outcome, this is partial delivery in the same term.
