Introduced by M. of A. GLICK -- read once and referred to the Committee

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to SUNY admission
requirements for graduate-level teacher and educational leader
programs
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Section 210-a of the education law, as amended by chapter
454 of the laws of 2017, is amended to read as follows:
§ 210-a. Admission requirements for graduate-level teacher and educa-
tional leader programs. Each institution registered by the department
with graduate-level teacher and leader education programs shall adopt
rigorous selection criteria geared to predicting a candidate's academic
success in its program, including but not limited to, [a minimum score
on the graduate record examination or a substantially equivalent admis-
sion examination, as determined by the institution, and] achievement of
a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher in the candidate's
undergraduate program; provided, however, such graduate record examina-
tion or substantially equivalent admission examination requirement shall
in no case apply to certified teachers or school administrators who
already hold a graduate degree. Each program may exempt no more than
fifteen percent of any incoming class of students from such selection
criteria set forth in this section based on a student's demonstration of
potential to positively contribute to the teaching profession or other
extenuating circumstances pursuant to the regulations of the commission-
er. A program shall report to the department the number of students
admitted pursuant to such exemption and the selection criteria used for
such exemptions.
§ 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
