Next week, children across our state will be asked to take
the New York State English Language Arts exam and the
following week they will be asked to take the New York
State Math exam. |
There has been a lot of confusion about whether these
tests are required. I want to remind you that, as parents,
you have the right to opt your child out of this exam with
no consequences to you, your child, or your child's school. |
If you do choose to make this decision, you must write a
letter to your child's principal. More information on how to
opt out is available here. |
The decision whether to opt out or not is a personal one
for each family. As your Public Advocate, I want to ensure
that parents know their rights. And that we continue working
together to build a school system that offers a holistic
education, including arts and physical education, and
equips our children for success. |
If you have questions or concerns, I urge you to contact
