  Committee on Education

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing  a  geom-
  etry  and  algebra  II/trigonometry  regents  prep course for New York
  school districts that have  less  than  sixty-five  percent  of  their
  students passing the geometry and algebra II/trigonometry 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 geometry
and  algebra  II/trigonometry  regents in New York school districts. The
geometry and algebra II/trigonometry 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  geometry  and  algebra
II/trigonometry  regents  examination.  The legislature therefore enacts
this legislation establishing a  geometry  and  algebra  II/trigonometry
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 816 to  read
as follows:
  S  816.   GEOMETRY AND ALGEBRA II/TRIGONOMETRY REGENTS PREP COURSE. 1.
THE COMMISSIONER, IN COOPERATION WITH THE BOARD OF REGENTS,  IS  AUTHOR-
IZED AND DIRECTED TO ESTABLISH AND DEVELOP A PROGRAM FOR THE PREPARATION
OF  THE  GEOMETRY  AND ALGEBRA II/TRIGONOMETRY REGENTS EXAMINATION. SUCH
PROGRAM MAY BE INSTITUTED BY ANY SCHOOL DISTRICT SEEKING TO PROVIDE  ITS
SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACHIEVE A PASSING GRADE
ON THE GEOMETRY AND ALGEBRA II/TRIGONOMETRY REGENTS EXAMINATION.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
