The Chapter 655 Report

A Report to the Governor and the Legislature on the
Educational Status of the State's Schools

Chapter 655 of the Laws of 1987 (which amended Section 215-1 of State Education Law) requires the Board of Regents and the State Education Department to submit an annual report to the Governor and the Legislature with respect to "enrollment trends; indicators of student achievement in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and vocational courses; graduation, college attendance and employment rates;... (and) information concerning teacher and administrator preparation, turnover, in-service education and performance."

The complete report is printed in two volumes.  The first volume is titled New York, The State of Learning: Statewide Profile of the Educational System and is a 200 page book in six chapters, with illustrative figures, charts, and tables.  The second volume is titled New York, the State of Learning: Statistical Profiles of Public School Districts and is a book with more than 300 pages containing tabular presentations of these data by school district within each county.
