Wong asks what DOE has communicated to students and families about the transition

I want to expand, Chad, you know, with question on community engagement regarding this.

Yes.

Portrait.

At the September 14th Regents meeting, the Ed Trust New York testified that schools still do not know how they will measure proficiency in core subjects for current high school students, even though

the proposed changes would affect students currently in grades 9 to 11 in less than a year.

Regent Hassani Prats asks, what resources exist for parents?

and students in this purgatory period.

So my question for you is, what has DOE communicated to students and families about this transition?

So we are exactly at that point where we're going to be doing much broader community engagement.

There has been a lot of getting us ready at the central level, getting our district teams and leadership ready and our principals.

We are counting on our principals and our superintendents.

They have started engaging their communities at their local CEC meetings.

district, their DPAC meetings.

We are talking about it now in our parent leadership structures, but our principals working with their school leadership teams as a great

and important entry point into explaining what this policy is going, is shaping up to be.
