In order to obtain the Seal of Civic Readiness, a student must complete all the requirements for a New York State local or Regents diploma and earn a total of six points with at least two points in Civic Knowledge and at least two points in Civic Participation. Students may also earn points by completing a middle school Capstone project or a high school Capstone project.
* Students may receive these points more than once.
Local Decision Making
Local Decision Making
NYSED relies on local district committees to use the seal criteria provided by the state to build rubrics & determine criteria to satisfy student completion. Districts will only report to the state when a student has earned the seal, nothing else. (not amount of points, how they earned the point, their project)
Testing accommodations recommended in an individualized education program or Section 504 accommodations plan must be provided for all State and districtwide assessments administered to students with disabilities, as consistent with State policy.
