TitleProposal to Eliminate Grade 8 Second Language Proficiency and the High School Foreign Language Regents Exam
Body
From http://www.nysaflt.org/home2.html

A proposal to reduce the cost of the NYS Assessment program will be presented to the Board of Regents at their March meeting (March 8 & 9). This proposal is considered a contingency plan that the Regents have been asked to consider in order to lower the operating costs in the 2010- 2011 budget cycle. Although there are suggestions that affect many other subject areas, the items of concern to NYSAFLT are the elimination of the Grade 8 Second Language Proficiency and the High School Foreign Language Regents Exam. You may view the proposal in its entirety at: http://www.regents.nysed.gov/meetings/2010Meetings/March2010/0310emscd2.htm
