        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to establishing  a  geom-
          etry  and  algebra  II/trigonometry  regents  prep course for New York
          school districts that have  less  than  sixty-five  percent  of  their
          students passing the geometry and algebra II/trigonometry regents
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds that  it
     2  is necessary to increase the percentage of students passing the geometry
     3  and  algebra  II/trigonometry  regents in New York school districts. The
     4  geometry and algebra II/trigonometry regents examination for high school
     5  students is one of five major regents  examinations  required  for  high
     6  school students to obtain a general high school diploma. The legislature

     7  further  finds  that over twenty counties have averaged less than sixty-
     8  five  percent  of  their  students  passing  the  geometry  and  algebra
     9  II/trigonometry  regents  examination.  The legislature therefore enacts
    10  this legislation establishing a  geometry  and  algebra  II/trigonometry
    11  regents  prep  course to prepare students for the mathematics regents by
    12  reviewing previous regents exams and materials.
    13    § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 815 to  read
    14  as follows:
    15    §  815.   Geometry and algebra II/trigonometry regents prep course. 1.
    16  The commissioner, in cooperation with the board of regents,  is  author-
    17  ized and directed to establish and develop a program for the preparation
    18  of  the  geometry  and algebra II/trigonometry regents examination. Such

    19  program may be instituted by any school district seeking to provide  its
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD01733-03-2

        A. 4080--A                          2
 
     1  secondary school students with an opportunity to achieve a passing grade
     2  on the geometry and algebra II/trigonometry regents examination.
     3    2.  The board of regents shall establish criteria to be used by school
     4  districts participating in such program, including the review and  test-
     5  ing of students on previous geometry and algebra II/trigonometry regents
     6  examination materials.

     7    §  3. This act shall take effect September 1, 2013; provided, however,
     8  that any rules or regulations necessary to implement the  provisions  of
     9  this act shall be promulgated on or before such date.
