DISCUSSION ITEMS
Commissioner's Report to the Board of Regents
The Commissioner’s written monthly report focused on seven subject areas the Board will vote upon or discuss during the monthly meeting: 2005-2006 Budget Priorities; Charter Schools; Chapter 655 Report; Report on Urban Initiatives; Regents Oversight of Assessment: GED; Home Instruction; and, A Scorecard on Legislative Advocacy.
2005-2006 Budget Development Process
BR (D) 1
The Board reviewed the proposed 2005-2006 budget initiatives in preparation for action in September.
Proposed Amendment to the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education Relating to Admission to and Passing Mark on Regents Examinations and College Credits to Meet High School Equivalency Diploma Requirement
BR (D) 2
The Board reviewed proposed amendments to sections 8.2 and 8.3 of the Rules of the Board of Regents and section 100.7 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education, which were submitted as a companion to proposed amendments discussed by the Board of Regents in June relating to requirements for the conferral of a college degree and the home instruction of students of compulsory attendance age and college study (8 NYCRR sections 3.47 and 100.10).
The purpose of the proposed amendment to Regents Rule section 8.2 is to require principals of public schools to admit to Regents examinations a candidate who is a school district resident and who seeks to take such examinations for the purpose of meeting the requirements for an earned degree pursuant to Regents Rule section 3.47(a)(2). This proposed amendment also clarifies that a school administering a Regents examination may require a candidate who is not a district resident to pay a reasonable fee to cover administrative and rating costs. The proposed amendment to Regents Rule section 8.3 merely makes a technical revision to conform the rule to the provisions of section 100.5(a)(5)(i) of the Commissioner’s Regulations, which allows, at the discretion of the school district, a passing score of 55-64 on the five required Regents examinations as an option to meet local diploma requirements. The proposed amendment to section 100.7 of the Commissioner’s Regulations changes the distribution of the 24 college semester hours to satisfy high school equivalency diploma requirements. This change is consistent with the pathway for home instructed students beyond compulsory school age to demonstrate high school academic proficiency for conferral of a college degree, as set forth in the proposed amendment to section 3.47.
The proposed amendments will be submitted to the Board for action in September.
Instructional Programming and Testing for Students in Programs Leading to a High School Equivalency Diploma
BR (D) 3
The Board received a report focused on instructional and testing programs, including GED results, leading to a high school equivalency diploma.
In discussion, Board members requested: additional information on the assemblance of statewide GED data; an explanation of data showing an increasing enrollment in GED programs with no parallel in school dropouts; forms of student entry into GED programs; numbers of students enrolled in GED programs in comparison to total high school population; and, availability of GED programs for incarcerated youth. There was also a suggestion to visit New York City area GED programs during the October meeting.
Further discussion of this subject, including responses to questions asked, will take place at the September meeting.
BR (D) 4
Due to time constraints, discussion of this item was postponed to the September meeting.
Strategies to Close the Gaps in Student Academic Performance in Urban Areas of New York State
BR (D) 5
In the past year, the Department has developed a series of strategies on how the State can best assist urban school districts to close the gaps in student academic performance, with the primary focus on improving classroom learning. The resulting report, reviewed by the Board, provides key strategies, including: systems alignments and coherence; generation and dissemination of instructional knowledge; creating programs and strategies for students in the gaps; enhancing school improvement, accountability and fiscal integrity of school districts; and, development of instructional leadership and practice at all levels.
In a discussion with Department staff, Board members encouraged a more concerted effort toward school health issues, a need for greater roles and use of paraprofessionals, a need to create and sustain a positive, assisting culture in districts accepting new teachers and, strong encouragement for student teachers in blue ribbon schools to have an effect on schools of education upon their return.
