  Committee on Education

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the availability of  a
  local diploma

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The education law is amended by adding a new section  208-b
to read as follows:
  S  208-B.  AVAILABILITY  OF A LOCAL DIPLOMA. THE DEPARTMENT SHALL MAKE
THE LOCAL DIPLOMA AVAILABLE TO ALL STUDENTS WHO ENTER  THE  NINTH  GRADE
PRIOR TO THE TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN--TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN SCHOOL YEAR.
  S  2.  The  department  of  education shall conduct a series of public
hearings throughout the state regarding the development and  implementa-
tion  of  multiple  pathways to a high school diploma, including but not
limited to a state career and technical  education  (CTE)  and  science,
technology,  engineering  and  mathematics (STEM) diploma pathway.   The
public hearings shall assist the department in  evaluating  the  current
diploma  requirements  and developing a plan which sets forth the neces-
sary legislative and regulatory changes  needed  to  implement  multiple
pathways  to  a  high school diploma for the students entering the ninth
grade in the 2013-14 school year and  thereafter.  Any  newly  developed
pathways to a high school diploma must take into consideration the needs
of  students  with  disabilities unable to achieve the local diploma but
for which the former Individual Education  Plan  diploma  is  no  longer
available.  Such  evaluation and report shall be submitted to the gover-
nor, the temporary president of the senate and the speaker of the assem-
bly within six months of the effective date of this act.
  S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.



 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
