                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by M. of A. GLICK -- read once and referred to the Committee
          on Higher Education
 
        AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the  cumulative  grade
          point  average  admission  requirement  for graduate-level teacher and
          educational leader programs
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section  1.  Section 210-a of the education law, as added by section 1
     2  of subpart B of part EE of chapter 56 of the laws of 2015, is amended to
     3  read as follows:
     4    § 210-a. Admission requirements for graduate-level teacher and  educa-
     5  tional  leader  programs.  Each institution registered by the department
     6  with graduate-level teacher and leader education  programs  shall  adopt
     7  rigorous  selection criteria geared to predicting a candidate's academic
     8  success in its program, including but not limited to, a minimum score on
     9  the graduate record examination or a substantially equivalent  admission
    10  examination,  as  determined  by  the  institution, and achievement of a
    11  minimum cumulative grade point average [of 3.0 or higher] in the  candi-
    12  date's  undergraduate  program.    Each  program may exempt no more than
    13  fifteen percent of any incoming class of students  from  such  selection
    14  criteria set forth in this section based on a student's demonstration of
    15  potential  to  positively contribute to the teaching profession or other
    16  extenuating circumstances pursuant to the regulations of the commission-
    17  er. A program shall report to the  department  the  number  of  students
    18  admitted  pursuant to such exemption and the selection criteria used for
    19  such exemptions.
    20    § 2. This act shall take effect on the thirtieth day  after  it  shall
    21  have become a law.
