Update from NYSED - March 16, 2021

Re: Annual Assessment

Section 100.10(h) regarding the annual assessment for students participating in a program of home instruction is amended to provide that due to the State of Emergency declared by the Governor pursuant to an Executive Order for the COVID-19 crisis, students shall be exempt from the annual assessment and alternative evaluation requirements of this subdivision for the 2019-20 school year where a student otherwise achieves the learning outcomes in accordance with their IHIP. The Board of Regents extended this provision for the 2020-2021 school year.
