BILL NUMBER:S6564A

Title of bill

An act to amend the education law, in relation to delaying the implementation of regents examinations based on the common core state standards until the 2021-2022 school year

Purpose

This legislation would delay the implementation of the regents examinations based on the common core standards until the 2021-22 school year.

Summary of provisions

The education law is amended by adding a new section 208-b to delay the implementation of the regents examinations based on the common core standards until the 2021-22 school year.

Justification

Altering the current Regent Exams to match Common Core standards and testing principles for current students could have a serious impact on student's futures. It is unfair to ask teachers to administer and students to take a test on curriculum they have not been given the opportunity to master.

If a change to the Regents Exams is necessary, it should be done no sooner than the 2021-22 school year.

It is unthinkable to experiment with the future of students who are preparing for the next step in their education journey. To place them at a competitive disadvantage and force them to take a test that they are ill prepared to pass is contrary to the educational mission of New York State.

This legislation will allow both students and teachers the proper time to master the skills necessary for success.
