Current Appeal Process

29
Under the following circumstances students can appeal to their

superintendent to be allowed to graduate with a lower score on a Regents
Exam. Students must:
Score within 3 points of passing (62-64); and
Have taken the Regents Examination under appeal at least two times; and
Present evidence that the student has taken advantage of academic help provided by the school
in the subject tested by the Regents Examination under appeal; and
Have an attendance rate of 95 percent; and

Be recommended for the appeal by the students teacher or Department chairperson in the
subject of the Regents examination under appeal
*If one appeal is granted the student earns a Regents diploma.

earns a local diploma.
If two appeals are granted the student
Proposed Appeal Process

30
Permit students to appeal scores of 60-64 on

up to two Regents examinations
Proposed
Expansion of
the Appeal
Provision
Review current attendance requirements

Students who are granted 1 appeal by their
district will earn a Regents diploma
Students who are granted 2 appeals by their
district will earn a local diploma
Analysis of Expanded Appeal Impact

31
If the Expanded Appeal

option were implemented
approximately
4,800
additional
students
From Cohort 2010

would meet
testing requirements.
The impact would be significant for vulnerable subgroups.

The number of students who meet testing requirements could increase by:
An additional 3,430 Economically Disadvantaged students

An additional 1,751 Hispanic students
An additional 1,580 Black students
917 ELL students
For the ELL Population, this would be an increase of

almost 10% of students who meet testing requirements!

Advantages to CDOS Pathway Option

38
Offers the CDOS credential to all students and expands the opportunity for
students at risk of dropping out of school to graduate with a regular high
school diploma and be prepared for the world of work.
Comparably educationally rigorous to other Pathways, and modeled after
business & industry expectations.
Would further incentivize schools to continue to provide more students with
access to CTE and work-based learning opportunities as well as instruction
in the CDOS learning standards. These skills are essential for post-school
success for all students.
Students would still be held to the same high standards and expected to pass
the courses in the required subjects.
