New York State Middle School Association-Essential Elements of a Standards Focus Middle School
In July of 2003 the New York State Board of Regents issued its policy statement on middle level education. The statement declared that the New York State Education Depatment's seven Essential Elements must be in place in standards-focused schools with middle level grades in New York State. Additionally, the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education (part 100.4) ( http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/part100/pages/pt100index.html) now require districts in New York State to insure that their middle-level program is aligned with the Regents Policy Statement on Middle-Level Education and the State Education Department's Essential Elements of Standards Focused Middle-Level Schools and Programs.
