legal@nysed.govInitial Review of Rule
As a rule that requires a RFA, RAFA or JIS, this rule will be initially reviewed in the calendar year 2020, which is the 4th or 5th year after the year in which this rule is being adopted. This review period, justification for proposing same, and invitation for public comment thereon, were contained in a RFA, RAFA or JIS.
An assessment of public comment on the 4 or 5-year initial review period is not attached because no comments were received on the issue.
Assessment of Public Comment
Since publication of a Notice of Emergency Adoption and Proposed Rule Making in the State Register on December 3, 2014, the State Education Department received the following comments:
The proposed rule appears to suggest that 9th and 10th graders will have the opportunity to take the Integrated Algebra Regents in June 2015 because both started high school with Algebra I Common Core Math. Can 11th and 12th graders who have not passed the Integrated Algebra Regents exam sit for these Regents also, even though they did not start with Algebra I Common Core Math?
All students who began their first commencement-level course of study in algebra (2005 standard) prior to September 2013 and who have completed that course of study, albeit successfully or not, are eligible to participate in the June 2015 Regents Examination in Integrated Algebra.
