NYC Test Administration Handbook: High Schools Students who score between 50 and 64 on state Regents exams between this June and August of next year can seek permission from their school district to pass the class and earn credit toward graduation, under a policy approved Tuesday. Students must normally score 65 or higher to pass a Regents exam. The state Board of Regents made the change because of the ongoing, uneven impact of the pandemic on students. "Conditions for teaching and learning have varied significantly across the State depending upon how the pandemic has affected individual communities, schools, families, and students," said a memo explaining the policy. A student must otherwise have a passing grade in the course to be eligible to receive credit.

An appeal to earn credit can be filed by a student, parent or guardian, the teacher of the course or the department chair. A school committee will then determine, according to a state FAQ, whether a student has "demonstrated the knowledge and skills required" to pass the course. The committee must include the principal, another administrator, and three teachers, not including the teacher of the course. The committee makes a recommendation to the superintendent, who has the final call. Baby doctor: Former premature baby on path to become pediatrician (for subscribers) Death penalty?

There is no limit to how many courses can be appealed for a student. Parents can refuse an appeal sought by a school if they would prefer that their child remain in school for additional instruction. A similar appeals process was in place before the pandemic for students who scored 60-64 on a Regents exam. But to be eligible to receive course credit, students needed to take the exam twice and seek academic assistance. The pandemic has made it quite difficult for the state to administer its long-standing Regents exams. The exams were canceled in 2020. In 2021, the state wanted to cancel the exams, but the federal government said certain exams had to be offered. So the state administered several of them, but students were not required to pass the exams to earn credit and graduate. The state decided to offer a full slate of Regents exams this year, saying that doing so provides a "valuable opportunity to determine the extent to which individual students are achieving the NYS learning standards and informs steps the Department can take to foster equity and improve educational opportunities for every student in New York." But the new rules will allow students who struggle on the exams to stay on the path to graduation. New York is one of 11 states that still offer "exit exams" that students must take before graduation. But the state is in the midst of a major review of its graduation requirements that could lead to new, or multiple, ways to assess whether students are qualified for a diploma. The Board of Regents is supposed to appoint a commission this fall that will review statewide feedback and begin creating recommendations, due to the Regents in 2024.
