Most Regents Exams Canceled for Hudson Valley Students
A major announcement was made in regards to Hudson Valley and New York students education.
On Monday, March 15, the New York State Education Department announced that the majority of Regents exams will be canceled. The announcement comes after the U.S. Department of Education did not cancel all mandatory exams for 2021. Instead, the Federal government encouraged schools to administer a shortened or modified version of the exams, according to AM NY.
AM NY reports only four federally mandated exams will be administered in New York. These exams will be math, English, earth science, and living environment (biology). They will be administered in June 2021. Students in grades 3-8 will only need to sit for one federally required test in English and math. Only one session of the written test for sciences will be administered for those in grades 4 through 8.
