180 Days and Cancelled U.S. History Regents Exam

SED issued a memo cancelling the June 1st U.S. History Regents exam. For state aid purposes, the days on which the Regents exams were previously scheduled to be held will operate like any day during the school year without a Regents exam. Instructional time will count towards the minimum hourly requirement and session days will count towards the statutory 180 day minimum. SED advises that districts planning to excuse grades seven through twelve on these days may continue to do so, provided that the district meets the 180 day and minimum hourly requirements exclusive of this time.
