Title: Long Island Students To Take Regional Exams, Including Foreign Language
Body: From http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/li-schools-plan-new-tests-for-spring-1.2545653 LI schools plan new tests for spring By JOHN HILDEBRAND December 15, 2010 Dozens of Long Island school districts are joining in an unprecedented effort to write and administer regional exams this spring in place of tests recently canceled by Albany - a project potentially serving tens of thousands of students. The planned new exams - to be provided free to schools - would replace eight tests the state recently canceled in a cost-cutting move. Canceled tests include those in fifth- and eighth-grade social studies and middle-school foreign languages, as well as high-school Regents exams in German, Hebrew and Latin.

Students passing the new foreign language tests would get credit toward graduation under new regulations adopted by state Regents earlier this week.
