He told the board the commission\u0000is examining the state\u0000diploma model and \"how do we, as a state, have all students graduating with one diploma but with multiple pathways to get to that,\" and said the commission is also looking at assessments, cultural competency and career- and college-readiness.

The Blue Ribbon Commission proposes a single diploma with multiple seals and endorsements tied to students\u0000coursework and experiences, Mr. Rydell said. He noted two state-offered seals currently exist: the seal of civic readiness and the seal of biliteracy. \"One diploma with the seals and endorsements that are specific to that student's experiences,\" he said.

Why it matters: The proposal could change how graduation requirements, assessments and transcripts look statewide, and districts will need to decide how to align local course offerings, seals and career/technical opportunities with a new model.

Key details: Mr. Rydell walked the board through the commission\u0000timeline and cohort effects, saying: cohorts are defined by the year students enter ninth grade. Under the timeline described in materials Mr. Rydell referenced, the cohort entering ninth grade in fall 2023 (current 10th graders at the time of the meeting) would keep current diploma requirements unless later rule changes occur; the cohort that begins ninth grade in fall 2024 would see some transition elements; and the state anticipates further transition steps that could decouple diploma assessment requirements by the cohort of 2027 and move toward a statewide transcript approach by the cohort of 2029.

Mr. Rydell emphasized uncertainty about final decisions and cautioned listeners against assuming regents exams are being eliminated immediately. \"I would just say I would caution anyone about being excited about that because, a, that's not a done deal. That is not yet been decided or approved by the board of regents,\" he said.

Local context and district work: Mr. Rydell said the district already has been expanding elective offerings and has launched a district work-based learning program that gives students high school credit for workplace experience. He also noted locally developed \"seals\" the high school is considering to encourage students to exceed minimum requirements.

He described other areas the commission is reviewing that align with district priorities: credits for fine and performing arts, STEM, writing and literacy, financial literacy, authentic and student-centered learning experiences, internships and expanded electives to allow pathways over a student\u0000high-school career.

What remains unresolved: Mr. Rydell said the state has not provided specifics on what qualifies as a \"major life event\" for diploma-assessment exemptions and that stakeholder input will continue to shape credit and transcript proposals.

Board reaction and next steps: Board members did not take formal action on the commission\u0000recommendations at the meeting. Mr. Rydell said building teams will present action plans at a future meeting that reflect board goals and local priorities; the board will continue to monitor SED stakeholder input and timeline updates.

Ending: Mr. Rydell closed the presentation noting the timeline gives time for dialogue and careful consideration before any cohort is affected by long-term changes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","MCSD BOE Workshop Mtg - January 2, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At a board of education meeting, Mr. Rydell, superintendent of schools, reviewed the New York State Education Department\u0000Blue Ribbon Commission\u0000initiative and what district officials should expect in coming years.","taxTitle","MARLBORO CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Districts, New York","taxId",56508,"location","New York","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6181973,"Marlboro board approves one-year Quality Bus contract amendment tied to CPI/2.5% language",1681,160000,1841000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5110319-d4252f86038b761771163c597c5adb56&start=160&end=1841","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5110319-d4252f86038b761771163c597c5adb56/thumbnail_160000.jpg","/articles/6181973/New-York/Marlboro-board-approves-one-year-Quality-Bus-contract-amendment-tied-to-CPI25-language","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6181973-7a50835242bc6001aa5c4c98e26dc280/orig.mp4?Expires=1770579655&Signature=RI0ogTsML~Tm-5hqIc33iy1VNq9zuoquC1k1eHdXaCVEUjVvGvPzTNB0LHt4sizt85FKa4xuaaTVyLE~TKaQGlVpQ1sF~BukrilSUetpv2P1mxjI6Ey21a9EGgH~5lf8nPU15TBQkadEJ4iHdfC05z5smNruR1lOzhH6NEaec7ngjrb58SVTJ1fNF23IHSkIbuCy20BrnzJ2w7Wavu3K1Lf0Lli7SsdNA2IbeOJLriAj8eS~ndWWacFSVxtzLVTWLkCTvnoF-cD419DGeJmX~u~WFu~nhCRSLHpvkB7qv5gvCt~JXdG1IhfFnZBkmSr2c45qNHlreT1bd5yhni-bKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marlboro Central School District Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a consent agenda that included a one-year contract amendment with Quality Bus, the district\u0000superintendent said.

During his presentation, Mr. Rydell, superintendent of schools, explained the proposed contract amendment \"is a cap on what the increase from year to year would be. So it would be the May 31 CPI amount or 2.5%, whichever is higher,\" and he discussed the district staff member who helped with negotiations, Emerson Segura.

The motion to approve the consent agenda (personnel recommendations, contract amendment for Quality Bus, claims audit letter and the December 2024 report) was moved by Faith and seconded by James Kuha. The board approved the motion on a roll call: Miss Nadine, yes; Mr. Kuha, yes; Miss Benninger, yes; Mr. Mullen, yes; Miss Schreed, yes; and the presiding officer, yes.

What it means: The board action authorizes the superintendent to finalize the one-year extension and the contract language described. Specific financial details beyond the CPI/2.5% language were not provided at the meeting.

Implementation and next steps: The amendment was presented as part of the consent agenda; no separate discussion or amendment to the contract language was recorded in the minutes beyond Mr. Rydell\u0000explanation.

Ending: The board had no further recommended actions at the meeting and moved on to consider new business.","The Board of Education approved a one-year extension and contract amendment with Quality Bus; superintendent explained the increase language ties to the May 31 CPI or 2.5% as described at the meeting. The consent motion passed on a 6-0 roll call.","actionData","errors"]
