S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 8142 2009-2010 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y May 6, 2009 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. CAMARA -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing a math- ematics B regents prep course for New York school districts that have less than sixty-five percent of their students passing the mathematics B regents THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that it is necessary to increase the percentage of students passing the math- ematics B regents in New York school districts. The mathematics B regents examination for high school students is one of five major regents examinations required for high school students to obtain a general high school diploma. The legislature further finds that over twenty counties have averaged less than sixty-five percent of their students passing the mathematics B regents examination. The legislature therefore enacts this legislation establishing a mathematics B regents prep course to prepare students for the mathematics regents by reviewing previous regents exams and materials. S 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 815 to read as follows: S 815. MATHEMATICS B REGENTS PREP COURSE. 1. THE COMMISSIONER, IN COOPERATION WITH THE BOARD OF REGENTS, IS AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED TO ESTABLISH AND DEVELOP A PROGRAM FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE MATHEMATICS B REGENTS EXAMINATION. SUCH PROGRAM MAY BE INSTITUTED BY ANY SCHOOL DISTRICT SEEKING TO PROVIDE ITS SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH AN OPPOR- TUNITY TO ACHIEVE A PASSING GRADE ON THE MATHEMATICS B REGENTS EXAMINA- TION. 2. THE BOARD OF REGENTS SHALL ESTABLISH CRITERIA TO BE USED BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS PARTICIPATING IN SUCH PROGRAM, INCLUDING THE REVIEW AND TEST- ING OF STUDENTS ON PREVIOUS MATHEMATICS B REGENTS EXAMINATION MATERIALS. S 3. This act shall take effect September 1, 2010; provided, however, that any rules or regulations necessary to implement the provisions of this act shall be promulgated on or before such date.
