SUBJECT:     Regents Examination Dates for January and June, 2007-2009

Provided here are the final dates for the January and June Regents examination periods for 2007 and 2008, along with the tentative dates for the 2009 administrations. Having this information now will enable schools to establish their calendars and facilitate planning and arrangements for important events such as staff development activities, class trips, and commencement exercises.

The final dates provided below are similar to those specified in the draft proposal of examination dates except that the June examination periods include an extra half-day of testing at the beginning of the examination period. The decision to add an extra half-day to the June Regents examination periods was reached based on consultation with education stakeholders from across the State. Our primary consideration was making these examination periods as conducive to student achievement as possible. We believe that this change will enable us to provide examination schedules that are equitable for all students and that minimize conflicts for students with disabilities.

In each June examination period, the last date indicated is the Rating Day.
No examinations will be scheduled on this day.
