ALBANY, N.Y. (WKBW) — On Monday, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) announced regents exams set to take place in June were canceled. On Tuesday, the department announced new graduation requirements to reflect the cancellation of those exams.
The education department has modified diploma, credential and endorsement requirements for students who were enrolled in grades 7 through 12 in the 2019-2020 school year and intended to take a June 2020 regents exam.
Those students will be exempted from passing June 2020 assessments in order to receive a diploma. The education department says students must meet one of these eligibility requirements in order to qualify for the exemption:
The complete NYSED guidance is available here.
In addition, the Board of Regents has announced it will delay the implementation of the Next Generation ELA and Mathematics state assessments to Spring 2022. The 2019-2020 assessments were not given in schools because of the pandemic.
