Sullivan BOCES is hosting a community event to discuss the future of high school graduation measures in New York State. The event will be held on Thursday, September 12, 2024, from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at the Sullivan BOCES Office & Conference Center, located at 15 Sullivan Ave., Liberty, NY.
This event is part of the ongoing efforts by the New York State Blue Ribbon Commission on Graduation Measures to gather community feedback on their recommendations for new diploma requirements. The Commission, which presented its recommendations to the Board of Regents in November 2023, is now seeking input from educators, parents, students, and community members on how to best implement these changes. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in small group discussions, provide valuable feedback, and help shape the future of education in New York State. Topics of discussion will include expanding learning experiences, redefining credit requirements, offering multiple means for demonstrating proficiency, and more.
“We encourage everyone in the community to attend and share their thoughts on these important changes,” said Robert M. Dufour, District Superintendent at Sullivan BOCES. “This is a unique opportunity to be part of the conversation and help ensure that our students are prepared for success in the future.”
The registration deadline for this event is September 6, 2024. Virtual participation options are also available for those who cannot attend in person.
