There has been some confusion regarding whether Regents exams were no longer required by New York State. Wlea reached out to Canisteo-Greenwood, to get the school district’s view of what the New York State Department of Education has decided about this. Below is the response.
FROM CANISTEO-GREENWOOD SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT TOM CROOK: “The plan to keep the Regents exams remained consistent throughout the process. The confusion stems from the announcement that students will no longer be required to pass Regents exams in order to earn a diploma. However, the exams will continue to serve important purposes, including qualification for diploma seals and meeting certain federal accountability and funding requirements.”
