- On June 10, 2025, the Board of Regents took permanent action to approve amendments to Sections 100.19 and 100.21 of Commissioner’s Regulations that enact the federally approved amendments to the New York State accountability system under ESSA beginning in the 2025-26 school year based on 2024-25 school year results.

- fact sheets;
- webinars;
- static cut points for the Core Subject Performance and Attendance accountability indicators; and
