MATTERS NOT REQUIRING BOARD ACTION
Proposed Addition of Section 100.2 (rr) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education Relating to the Performance-Based Learning and Assessment Networks Pilot [P12 (D) 1] - Department staff presented a proposed regulatory amendment to establish a process for schools and programs participating in the Performance-Based Learning and Assessment Networks (PLAN) Pilot to apply to the commissioner for flexibilities under Part 100 regulations that they believe would support their plans for implementing performance-based learning and assessment (PBLA). The amendment would require a school’s request to specify which Part 100 requirement(s) they are seeking an exemption from, to include a detailed rationale, and the anticipated impact on students. Such requests could be granted if the school demonstrates that such exemption(s) would support their ability to implement PBLA, consistent with the aims of the PLAN pilot. On or before the effective date of the proposed rule, the Department will develop and publish comprehensive guidance for this process.
NYS Green Ribbon Schools - Department staff presented the NYS Green Ribbon to the Bronxville Union Free School District and the Putnam Valley Central School District acknowledging their commendable work in sustainability and environmental awareness.
Deputy Commissioner Jason Harmon reviewed the items on the Consent Agenda.
