Statement from Commissioner MaryEllen Elia on the Re-Election of Chancellor Betty A. Rosa and Regent Judith Chin to the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ State Board of Regents

“I am absolutely thrilled that Chancellor Betty Rosa and Regent Judith Chin have been re-elected to another term on the NYS Board of Regents. Both Chancellor Rosa and Regent Chin are lifelong educators whoÌýhave worked tirelessly on behalf of Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s students, teachers, and school leaders. Under Chancellor Rosa’s leadership, the Regents have overseen the adoption of new, rigorous learning standards that will prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century; made common-sense changes to the State assessments; and developed a State ESSA plan that fosters greater equity throughout Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s education system. For each of these critical advances, Chancellor Rosa, Regent Chin and every member of the Board of Regents took a collaborative, deliberative and transparent approach, engaging parents, teachers and the public at every step in the process. Today’s re-election of Chancellor Rosa and Regent Chin is great news for the State’s three million students, their families and indeed all Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ers.â€�
