Results of the survey of November 8, 2026
--------------------------------------
Recently, the NYS Board of Regents authorized the State Education Department to proceed with a plan to separate Regents examinations from the requirement to earn a high school diploma. Beginning with students graduating in January 2028, students will no longer have to pass a prescribed set of Regents exams to graduate. The state will also replace its current system of local, Regents, and Advanced Regents diplomas with a single NYS high school diploma that features seals and endorsements. Do you approve?
Yes--------------------22.2%
No---------------------77.8%

First of all, we need a climate Literacy certificate for all high school students. I am not in favor of watering down qualifications for a high school graduate. WE need to raise standards and hold schools accountable for maintaining quality education. |
|
Hard to tell if I can support this as the information keeps changing at the state and local level. |
|
Tests are part of life. I feel these are good benchmarks for students and teachers |
|
Hard to comment until the plan is distributed and reviewed. |

There is no definitive set of requirements for students to earn their high school diploma. As a School Counselor, I can't answer "What is required?" It makes me look incompetent to my students & their parents. Have a fully developed plan before announcing it |
|
California also did the same thing by removing the CAHSEE, and since that change, there have been lower proficiencies in core material comprehension. Our current system is not measuring student ability levels properly. Colleges now lower their standards |
|
I believe that all students should get a basic diploma. But students who did cal should get an dnh as nieces diploma- not only the basic. |

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations. Click here to explore and contribute an article.
Also, consider the exciting learning opportunity offered through the Mentors.net AI Academy.
