At the May 9th Board of Regents meeting, the Board will discuss the new revised English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards. The newly revised learning standards have been the result of over two years of collaborative work to ensure New York State has the best learning standards for our students. Over 130 educators and parents worked together to make recommendations and revise the standards, resulting in a new set of revised English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards. Additional information about the timeline for implementation in schools is available in the Board of Regents item here: TIMELINE: English Language Arts and Mathematics Learning Standards Review Process.
