Today, I found out that I was selected to serve on the New York State Education Department’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Graduation Measures. The commission, which consists of educators, parents, students, and others, will make recommendations to the New York State Board of Regents on the measures that the state will use for high school graduation. More information about the commission is on the New York State Education Department website: http://www.nysed.gov/grad-measures/nys-blue-ribbon-commission-graduation-measures. A presentation on the demographics of the commission is available here: https://www.regents.nysed.gov/common/regents/files/P-12%20-%20Graduation%20Measures%20Blue%20Ribbon%20Commission%20Demographics.pdf .
