Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
On Tuesday, May 24, the New York State Department of Education (NYSED) announced the very first administration of the Regents Examination in United States History and Government (Framework), scheduled for June 1, 2022, is cancelled. It is not a Covid-related cancellation. The recent mass shooting in Buffalo prompted NYSED to conduct an expert review of the Regents Examination in United States History and Government (Framework). During the review NYSED experts determined the assessment contains content that has the potential to compound student trauma caused by the mass shooting in Buffalo.
As a result of NYSED’s decision to cancel this examination, June 1, 2022 will become a regular school day for all students. We anticipate all other Regents Exams to proceed as scheduled.
Best,
Craig
