Today, the Board of Regents authorized the New York Education Department to move forward with the next phase of NY Inspires, a historic transformation of education in New York State.
Beginning with students graduating in 2028, New York will transition to one State high school diploma. In addition, Regents examinations will continue to serve as rigorous measures of academic achievement but will no longer be a separate diploma requirement.
The changes are designed to provide a more complete picture of student achievement and create more opportunities for students to demonstrate what they know and can do. https://bit.ly/4itN1Wd
