Madam Chancellor and Colleagues: Your Higher Education Committee recommends, and we move, that the Board of Regents act affirmatively upon each recommendation in the written report of the Committee’s deliberations at its meeting on February 11, 2020, copies of which have been distributed to each member of the Board of Regents.
Proposed Amendments to Section 3.14 of the Rules of the Board of Regents Relating to the Composition of the Professional Standards and Practices Board for Teaching - Your Committee discussed proposed amendments to Section 3.14 that will allow the PSPB to increase the number of members practicing in New York State from 21 to 23 and increase its overall Board membership from 28 to 30. In addition to increasing the total number of Board members to 30, the Department is proposing to require that at least four members be practicing, certified school building or district administrators in schools or districts, and to require at least 15, instead of 14, of the 23 members to have had full-time experience as certified teachers in elementary, middle, or secondary schools. Following the 60-day public comment period required under the State Administrative Procedure Act, it is anticipated that the proposed amendment will be presented to the Board of Regents for adoption at its June 2020 meeting. If adopted at the June 2020 meeting, the proposed amendment will become effective on June 24, 2020.
