7. Right to Decline Regents Waivers
If your child has a Regents Exam waiver and is scheduled to graduate, you can decide not to have your student waive their Regents exams if you prefer your child to stay in high school until they meet graduation requirements or until the end of the school year in which they turn 21. If you choose to decline a Regents exam waiver, this decision cannot be reversed. Your student will be expected to work toward passing the exam in future administrations. Please reach out to David Robinson, Assistant Principal of Guidance by June 19th if you wish to decline Regents waivers for your student.
