Application to Serve on the NYS Board of Regents' Blue Ribbon Commission on Graduation Measures |
In early 2019, then-Chancellor Rosa committed to rethinking New York’s graduation requirements. A few months later, the Board of Regents announced it would create a Blue Ribbon Commission on Graduation Measures. To help inform the work of the Commission, the Board of Regents and the State Education Department held regional meetings across the state to gather input from many stakeholders, including parents, educators, administrators, school support staff, representatives of higher education, the business community, students, and the general public.
Beginning in fall 2022, the Blue Ribbon Commission on Graduation Measures will undertake a thoughtful and inclusive process to explore what a New York State high school diploma means and what it should signify to ensure educational excellence and equity for all New York State children. Approximately 40 individuals representing various stakeholders, judicial districts, and students including students with disabilities and English language learners will meet approximately every other month to develop recommendations to the Board of Regents on what measures of learning and achievement could better serve New York’s diverse student population as indicators of what they know and their readiness for college, career, and civic life.
Due to the high volume of applications expected to be received, only those individuals who are being considered to serve on the Commission will be contacted.
Thank you for your interest in partnering with the State Education Department to ensure educational excellence and equity for all students in New York State.
