In November the Board will vote to accept the 2003 Regents Priority Legislative Program.

Board member comments and suggestions for improvement included: in the proposal for interagency collaboration, include language making it more substantive by underscoring the relationship between student health and academic achievement with no cost; and, develop a brief booklet or appendix to the State Aid proposal expressing the complexities of State Aid.

DISCUSSION ITEMS

Workforce Development and Education: Preparing Youth

for Jobs and Careers in New York State

BR (D) 2

In his role as a permanent, statutory member of the New York State Workforce Investment Board, Commissioner Richard P. Mills co-chairs an Emerging Worker Subcommittee. The Commissioner, and his co-chair Gerard Pierce, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Wegmans Food Market, Inc., led a discussion on why and how to make strong connections between workforce development and the State's education/vocational rehabilitation system. The discussions focused on three successful, comprehensive youth preparation programs with representatives of each available for presentation and questions. The programs included the Wegmans Youth Apprenticeship Program, Project Connect and the Queens Borough Public Library.

Student Data Collection

BR (D) 3

The Department is now collecting individual records for all public school students who took state assessments in the 2001-2002 school year. These records are collected through two systems, the Local Education Agency Program (LEAP) and the System for Tracking Educational Progress (STEP).

The LEAP reporting system, implemented in the 1996-97 school year, collects performance on state assessments administered in the elementary and middle grades. The STEP software collects individual student records for all students in grades 9 through 12.

The BOCES based Regional Information Centers (RICs) have instituted a Decision Support System that collects and maintains education data for local school districts at a regional level. This includes individual student assessment information collected over periods from one to three years. Most of the RICSs have grades 4 and 8 assessments and grades 9 and 12 State tests. For those school districts who choose to participate, the data is provided back to the district for analysis and educational policy decision-making.

The Department is taking the lead in creating a unique student ID. The statewide data collection process must leverage the process and data management already put in place by the Regional Information Centers. Implementation of a prototype data repository that meets the Department's reporting requirements and uses the unique ID is targeted to be accomplished by October 2003, using data from the current school year. Full development of a statewide repository is planned to be in place by Fall 2004.

STANDING COMMITTEE REPORTS

Committee Reports

MOVED, that the reports from the Regents Standing Committees be approved as submitted.

Motion by: Regent Saul B. Cohen

Seconded by: Regent James C. Dawson

Action: Motion carried unanimously

REGENTS COMMITTEE ON VOCATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL SERVICES

FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES

Regent Merryl H. Tisch, Chair of the Committee on Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities, presented on behalf of the Committee the following written report.

MATTERS NOT REQUIRING BOARD ACTION

Your Committee received a report on Special Education Quality Assurance. The report summarized VESID�s efforts to redirect the focus of quality assurance from simply procedural compliance to program effectiveness and student results. The new quality assurance process differs significantly from the previous compliance monitoring system. It relies on data, involves feedback from district stakeholders, makes an effort to more efficiently manage information about quality assurance findings and results, uses IDEA discretionary funds to address quality improvement through effective practices, and collects participant feedback on the actual review process. The special education monitoring system continues to evolve. VESID will continue to develop and refine this process as we hold both districts and ourselves accountable for the performance of students with disabilities.

(VESID (D) 1)

Your Committee discussed the following policy issues regarding students with disabilities under the proposed federal regulations for No Child Left Behind.
- Use of Alternate Assessment - The draft regulations would prohibit districts from counting more than 0.5 percent of all students in the grades assessed as taking the alternate assessment when calculating accountability statistics. The proposed regulations directly conflict with provisions in the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the intent of which is to include students with disabilities in the general education curriculum and in the assessment and accountability systems. In addition, they would not allow certain components of the current safety net provision for students with disabilities to be included in the NCLB accountability system.
- Supplemental Services � Proposed sections of the regulations impose a requirement on states to ensure that eligible students with disabilities receive appropriate supplemental educational services. In contrast, another proposed section appears to authorize a provider of supplemental services to discriminate based on a student�s disability.
- Teacher Qualifications � Under the proposed regulations, teachers must be certified in or demonstrate competence in all the academic subjects in which they teach. Such a requirement would seriously impair the ability of New York to meet its obligation under the IDEA to assure that students with disabilities receive special education and related services from qualified teachers and would exacerbate existing teacher shortages.

The Committee agreed with the Department�s position on these provisions in the proposed federal NCLB regulations and endorsed an aggressive advocacy to have these provisions changed. (VESID (D) 2)

Your Committee discussed the proposed amendment of sections 200.2 and 200.4 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. The purpose of the proposed amendment is to ensure that school districts provide teachers and other service providers with a copy of the individualized education program (IEP) of a student with a disability prior to the implementation of the student�s IEP. The proposed amendment will be submitted for approval in December 2002, with a proposed effective date of January 3, 2003.

(VESID (D) 3)

Action Agenda � All items approved.

Discussion � "Update on the Implementation of CUNY�s Master Plan Amendment Authorizing Revised Baccalaureate Admission Standards [HP (D) 2]": A comprehensive update was given on this topic, which included a colorful power point presentation. This was the third report on this subject and contained: information on spring 2002 site visits to CUNY institutions, data provided by CUNY, and CUNY�s response to the draft report. In addition, an oral report was given on recently completed site visits to the five remaining CUNY colleges scheduled for review, academic support services and the subject of transfer students.

"Update on Scheduling Issues for Teacher Education Program Accreditation": Deputy Commissioner Duncan-Poitier spoke of the possible need for a change in the schedule for accreditation of teacher education programs in New York State, something she discussed with them at the June 2002 meeting. The potential difficulties rest in the inability of the Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) to achieve national recognition. A recommendation to amend the Regulations, extending the deadline for accreditation to December 31, 2006 was discussed. The proposal would allow necessary time and resources essential to the comprehensive accreditation process, while upholding the Regents commitment to ensure all teacher education programs prepare qualified teachers. The Regents endorsed the proposed approach.

Proposed Amendment to the Rules of the Board of Regents (29.7 (a)(21) (ii) (a)) Relating to the Definition of Unprofessional Conduct in the Practice of Pharmacy and Limitations on Assistance to Licensed Pharmacists by Unlicensed Individuals. (PPC D 1)
The purpose of the proposed amendment is to revise the list of activities, performed by an unlicensed individual while assisting a licensed pharmacist in the dispensing of a prescription, that would invoke the requirement that a licensed pharmacist supervise no more than two unlicensed persons.

REGENTS COMMITTEE ON QUALITY

Vice Chancellor Sanford, Vice Chair of the Committee on Quality, presented on behalf of the Committee the following written report.

Your Committee on Quality held its scheduled meeting on October 4, 2002. Vice Chancellor Sanford, Regents Cofield, McGivern, Phillips, and Rubin were present. Chancellor Bennett also attended.

ACTION ITEM

No items were recommended for approval by the Regents.

MATTERS NOT REQUIRING BOARD ACTION

The Committee reviewed the proposed follow-up actions for the items listed on the Action Register from the July 2002 Retreat. The Committee confirmed the list of key issues for follow up with these modifications:

The first item should be revised to reflect the intent to focus the Board�s agenda(rather than time and effort) on key policy decisions and reviews of major polices.
The two items related to higher education should be combined with the one on communication strategies, since this is an important constituency.
The communication strategies item should also include ways to listen more to legislators and experts on the Board�s key policy issues.

The Committee then proceeded to discuss the items on focusing the Board�s agenda and communications.
