Commissioner's Monthly Report

The Commissioner's written report focused on 10 subject areas: school report card data; academic achievement of students with disabilities; special education in New York City; reauthorization of IDEA and WIA; thinking about the passing grade; Task Force on the Future of Nursing; update on library policy; review of Regents teaching policy; Call to Teaching Forum; and, NCLB accountability plan implementation.

2004-2005 Budget Development Process

BR (D) 1

The Board reviewed the steps and timetable in the 2004-2005 budget development process: establish initiative outcomes and evaluation criteria and review the existing three-year initiatives (April 2003); evaluate the 2004-2005 initiatives proposed by the program offices using the established criteria in the Regents Standing Committees (June 2003); discuss the proposed 2004-2005 budget initiatives with the full Board of Regents (July 2003); and, act on the "Bluebook" 2004-2005 Budget Proposal (September 2003).

Updated Special Education Data

BR (D) 3

The Board received a presentation on the performance of students with disabilities in the 2001-2002 school year, including data for results for those individuals enrolled in institutions of higher education and result of the vocational rehabilitation system in preparing and placing individuals with disabilities into employment from the previous State and federal fiscal years.

There are a significant number of indicators of continuing progress that are evidenced in the report. Among these are: the special education classifi-cation rate has decreased for the first time since this data has been available; New York State surpasses the national average rate of placing school-age students with disabilities in general education classrooms for 80 percent or more of the school day; the extent of disproportionality of minority students' participation in special education has been reduced; the percentage of students with disabilities achieving a Regents diploma increased from 4.4 percent in 1997-1998 to 11.1 percent in 2000-01; there continues to be a steady increase in the number of individuals with disabilities enrolled in institutions of higher education; and, graduation rates after four years and six years for individuals with disabilities who entered full-time Baccalaureate degree programs for the first time in Fall 1995 were the same as or better than for all individuals, with and without disabilities.

Although there has been significant progress, the challenge for vocational rehabilitation is to continue to achieve positive results within significant fiscal constraints.

School Report Card Data

BR (D) 2

The Board reviewed significant trends in the school report card data, distributed to the public on April 10.

The trends in the school report card data for 2001-2002 show: a large majority of students continue to pass Regents exams, even with the increased requirement of four exams; most minority students are passing the required Regents exams, however the achievement gap widens as the performance level increases; annual high school graduation numbers remain stable even with higher standards; achievement is climbing as more students receive Regents diplomas; significant gaps exist for poor and minority students; there is a continuing four-year trend of improvement on elementary English language arts and improvement in middle-level math following years of flat results; fewer students are scoring at Level 1 on all elementary and middle-level exams; and, the gap achievement between poor and minority and all others increases as the performance levels increase.

 

INFORMATION ITEM

Status Report on Unique Student ID Project

BR (I) 1

The Board received an update on the status of the development of the New York State Student Identification System (NYSSIS).

NYSSIS will provide a means to assign a unique identifier to all public school students in the State and enable local districts to retrieve a student existing identifier. This unique identifier will improve Department and local district capacity to measure the performance of students over time. One of the fundamental requirements of the system is the confidentiality of the identification information of students. No personally identifiable information will be disclosed and all transactions will be encrypted to ensure complete confidentiality.

The project is being conducted in partnership with staff at the BOCES Regional Information Centers (RICs) and in consultation with staff from the Big 5 school districts. Work is expected to start in May or June with the awarding of a contract to a qualified vendor.

(VESID (A) 1)

 

 

 

 

MATTERS NOT REQUIRING BOARD ACTION

• Your Committee discussed a proposed amendment of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education relating to special education space planning requirements. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to ensure the provision of appropriate long-term education space for students with disabilities and to expand opportunities for students with disabilities to be educated in sites that promote integration with nondisabled students while reducing the number of classrooms in separate settings. The proposed amendments will be submitted for approval at the June 2003 Regents meeting (VESID (D) 1.1)

• Your Committee discussed special education in New York City, including an overview of the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) Plan for the Reform of Special Education. The plan�s stated goal is to avoid unnecessary referrals to special education, serve more students with disabilities in general education environments and shift supports and resources to the classroom. The Department will examine possible regulatory relief in areas that do not contribute to improved students outcomes and pursue an accountability agreement with the NYCDOE that sets outcome measures and targets for students with disabilities. (VESID (D) 2.1)

• Your Committee discussed the Reauthorizations of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), including the Rehabilitation Act. Key issues discussed included:

• IDEA � Proposed funding recommendations, parental choice, discipline, dispute resolution, due process, qualification standards for special education personnel, Individualized Education Program development, and monitoring.

• WIA � Proposed amendments would allow the Executive to divert unlimited amounts of federal vocational rehabilitation program funds to support One-Stop Centers and remove the vocational rehabilitation representative from the local workforce investment boards.

• Rehabilitation Act � The proposed bill does not resolve the funding formula problem that is unfair to New York.
•
