If you would like to comment on the NYSED Regionalization Initiative please email it to REGCOMMENTS@nysed.gov. The 60-day comment period ends on November 25, 2024.
Key Points:
- The survey is not a mandate for districts to merge but instead aims to explore opportunities for resource sharing and collaboration.
- To clarify, NYSED has emphasized in all communications that regionalization does not mean merging programs or districts.
- Our district representatives will attend upcoming meetings to learn more about the potential benefits and collaborative options available.
Timeline:
- By April 2025: Each region will submit an interim report detailing initial findings and proposals.
- By October 2025: Each region will finalize its collaborative plan.
Thank you for staying informed as we explore new opportunities to enhance the education experience in our district.
