Summary of July 2026 Board of Regents Meeting
The Board of Regents conducted their monthly meeting on Monday, July 13, and Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
As has been customary in the past, the July Board of Regents meeting included an abbreviated public session with the majority of the time being dedicated to Board training. During the public session, three P-12 related amendments were proposed and discussed. It is anticipated that all three of them will be presented for formal adoption at the November 2026 Board of Regents meeting. They include:
- A proposed amendment related to implementing a more scaffolded support structure for schools identified as in need of Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI).
- A proposed amendment that updates and clarifies the requirements for applicants seeking to obtain coaching licenses.
- A proposed amendment relating to new requirements for Teacher Preparation Programs that focus on increased course work in the area of literacy instruction.
- Discussion of proposed amendment relating to improved support for schools identified to be in need of Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI).
NYSED staff members reviewed a new tiered scaffolding support model which would replace the current single CSI designation. The presenters expressed that the four structured tiers will provide the opportunity to offer increased support based on specific school needs, allow more time for schools to meet their achievement goals, and enhance the resources that are available to CSI schools as they work to improve student outcomes. The key interventions associated with each of the four tiers were also reviewed.
After the 60 Day public comment period, it is anticipated that the proposed amendment will be presented for adoption at the November 2026 Board of Regents meeting.
