BILL NUMBER:S3803
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the education law, in relation to rescheduling regents
examinations
PURPOSE:
To authorize the Commissioner of Education to reschedule Regent
examinations within fifteen business days.
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section one amends section 305 of the education law by adding a new
subdivision 42 requiring the Commissioner of Education to reschedule
Regents examinations within 15 business days if the examination was
cancelled for any reason.
JUSTIFICATION:
Currently the State Education Commissioner has the authority to
reschedule Regent exams at their discretion.
For example, the Commissioner could decide to reschedule an exam
months after the original exam was cancelled. This is not fair to the
students who put a lot of study time and effort toward preparing for
the exam.
The longer the exam is delayed and eventually rescheduled, the more
difficult it is for students to retain the information they learned.
