The State Education Department is now accepting applications to be a member of the Graduation Measures Blue Ribbon Commission. The Commission will undertake a thoughtful and inclusive process to explore what a New York State high school diploma means and what it should signify to ensure educational excellence and equity for all New York State children.
The Commission will be made up of a diverse group of individuals representing various stakeholders, judicial districts, and students (including students with disabilities and English language learners). Members will include educators, administrators, researchers, school counselors, professionals from business and higher education, parents, and students.
Members will meet approximately every other month to develop recommendations to the Board of Regents on what measures of learning and achievement could better serve New York’s diverse student population as indicators of what they know and their readiness for college, career, and civic life.
