Behind (NCLB) Act, reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act,
was signed into law. The State has
received a number of benefits from NCLB; however, there are also several
provisions of the legislation that continue to be of concern to New York and
other states. The Board received a report
identifying the concerns and recommended strategies for resolution. These concerns are related to: teachers and paraprofessionals; students
with disabilities; English language learners; persistently dangerous schools;
supplemental educational services; and, accountability system for high
schools. |
|
Schools Under Registration Review (SURR) BR (D) 2 The Board received a report
analyzing the performance of current and former SURR schools during the
2002-2003 school year, drawing attention to some of the important trends in
SURR schools, and highlighting the strengths of the process and opportunities
for improvement. The review has resulted in the identification of
opportunities for improvement in the process, including: accelerating the identification of SURRs;
incorporating special schools into the SURR process; strengthening the
redesign and closure processes; expanding on-line professional development;
utilizing scientifically-based research curriculum models; and, further
integration of SURR and NCLB. In discussion, Board members
commented that confidence in the process is undermined when successor schools
are identified as SURRs and also that there are additional challenges that
will be identified. |

[EMSC-VESID (CA) 2]
MATTERS NOT
REQUIRING BOARD ACTION
Revision of strategic plan key performance indicators for the Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities [EMSC-VESID (D) 1]
Vice Chancellor Sanford requested more data on the number and trends of classification by categories of disability.
Year IV Standards Implementation Study--The Effect of Raising Learning Standards in New York State Public Schools for English Language Arts, Mathematics and Career Development and Occupational Studies [EMSC-VESID (D) 2]
The Committee asked for more detail on the need to help schools integrate Career Development and Occupational Studies standards into core curriculum areas. The Committee also asked for an interim report on implementation of the Regents policy on career and technical education, prior to the policy review scheduled in November 2004. Staff will determine when pertinent data will be available so that the interim report can be scheduled. Vice Chancellor Sanford requested an analysis of parent comments received as part of the study. The Committee determined that the suggested actions to address the findings of the study should be categorized (implementation issue that deviates from policy direction, consideration in revision to policy, and implication for future policy decision) and that the Board determine in what venue (Quality Committee, Regents retreat, etc.) it will use this information for follow-up discussion.
Policy review of comprehensive planning requirements [EMSC-VESID (D) 3]
The Committee requested talking points for legislative advocacy on implementation of the Department's recommendations on plan consolidation and mandate relief.
Conceptual framework for middle-level reform strategy [EMSC-VESID (D) 4]
The Committee requested that staff develop for the February meeting options with pros and cons of models for implementation of the Regents Policy Statement on Middle-Level Education. Suggestions for clarifying or expanding the comments received from field input included: emphasizing the importance of linkages to elementary and high school levels; identifying the role of higher education institutions in providing professional development for teachers; addressing the needs of English language learners beyond just providing intensive English language instruction; more specifically reflecting the comments received from students; and specifying that teachers support non-core subjects being taught in grades 7 and 8, while school administrators support flexibility to provide instruction in the non-core subjects across grades 5-8. It was suggested that the Regents identify the goal behind driving change to improve performance in the middle grades, determine what is needed to make opportunities available so that an integrated curriculum will become part of middle-level programs, take the time needed to make their decision due to the complexity of issues, address other issues like leadership ability and the preparation of teachers, and consider developing grade-by-grade curriculum in other subject areas besides English language arts and math. A paper on student comments on middle-level education will be shared with Board members.
Public reaction to alternative approaches to implementation of the Regents Policy Statement on Middle-Level Education [EMSC-VESID (I) 1]

institutions already having an absolute charter.

Regent Robert M.
Johnson, 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 January 12, 2004. Vice Chair
Cortés-Vázquez and Regent Bowman were present.
Vice Chancellor Sanford also attended.
ACTION ITEMS
No items were recommended for formal approval by the Regents.
MATTERS NOT REQUIRING BOARD
ACTION
The Committee discussed two items:
l
Your Committee continued its conversation
about the creation of the USNY Technology Policy and Practices Council. The Committee:
ü
Underscored the importance of keeping the
charge highly focused on the original goals outlined for the Council; that is,
mapping the technology assets of USNY institutions and recommending strategies
for using those assets to accelerate closing the performance gap in student
achievement.
ü
Agreed that the Council’s charge should
include specific deliverables that are produced by summer or early fall
2004. Completing its work within this
timeframe will permit the USNY Convocation planners to incorporate the
Council’s results into the agenda for the November 2004 event.
ü
Asked that Regent Bowman and Department
staff compile a list of potential Council members. This list would be shared with all Regents, along with a revised
statement of the Council’s charge, before the next Board meeting. Individual
Regents may then offer additional names for consideration. In February, the Quality Committee will ask
the full Board to take action on both the charge and the membership roster.
ü
Supported the proposal to convene a small
group of technology experts to assist the Department in defining the scope of,
and the most appropriate design for, the survey of USNY technology assets. This group may also be invited to help the
Department refine the charge of the Council.
l
Your Committee reviewed the status report on
soliciting membership for the Convocation Planning Committee. Based on this
discussion, your Committee recommends the following:
ü
Staff should contact additional potential
Committee members to ensure that the diversity of USNY institutions be
represented fully.
ü
The Committee Chair and Co-Chair should work
with Department staff to identify promptly the appropriate Co-Chairs for the
Planning Committee. The Co-Chairs should have demonstrated success in working
across institutional boundaries within USNY and are skillful in bringing
together groups with diverse memberships.
ü
Staff should plan to provide Planning
Committee members with briefing materials prior to the first meeting. These materials could include: paper on the history of USNY, the
Commissioner’s pamphlet on the potential of the University, and a summary of
the Regents vision for the Convocation.
ü
The convocation planners should discuss
various methods for disseminating the Convocation proceedings including
broadcasting on public television, cable television, or on the internet.
