SUMMARY:
Commissioner’s Regulations require districts that seek to register a public elementary, intermediate, middle, junior high or high school to submit a petition to the Board of Regents. The schools listed on the attachment are being recommended by the Commissioner for registration, based on the districts’ written certification that they will comply with applicable statutes, rules, regulations and building codes.
Commissioner’s Regulations require that petitions for schools opening the following school year be submitted by June 15, except that the Commissioner may waive this timeline for good cause. Attachment A contains:
· A listing of schools for which districts submitted petitions after June 15, 2004 and for which the Commissioner is recommending that registration commence with the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year.
· A listing for the Young Women’s Leadership Academy Secondary School, Bronx Campus, for which a timely submission was received, but which was inadvertently not included in the list of schools registered by the Regents in July.
VOTED: That the schools in Attachment A be registered, beginning with the 2004-2005 school year.
