Should the Regents accept the staff recommendation to register the Calkins Road Middle School in the Pittsford Central School District and the Royalton Hartland Middle School in the Royalton Hartland Central School District?

 

Reason(s) for Consideration

          Required by Commissioner’s Regulations Section 100.2(p). 
         

Proposed Handling

 

The question will come before the Regents EMSC-VESID Committee for action on September 11, 2006. 

 

Procedural History

 

Beginning in July 2003, the Regents have annually approved the registration of new public schools at their July meeting.

 

Background Information

 

          Commissioner’s Regulations require districts that seek to register a public elementary, intermediate, middle, junior high or high school to submit a petition to the Board of Regents. Commissioner’s Regulations require petitions for schools opening the following school year to be submitted by June 15; however, the Commissioner may waive this timeline for good cause.  This year the Department received submissions after June 15 from the Pittsford Central School District and the Royalton Hartland Central School District. Based upon the district submitting a petition and supporting materials certifying the district’s commitment to operate a school in compliance with applicable statutes, rules, and regulations relating to public schools and in compliance with applicable building codes, the Commissioner recommends that the following schools be registered:
