The purpose of this Administrative Directive (ADM) is to provide districts with information and guidance necessary to implement requirements effective October 1, 2009 resulting from changes to 18 NYCRR 385.6 and 18 NYCRR 385.7 which now define "basic literacy level" and provide nonexempt individuals receiving public assistance expanded opportunities to participate in appropriate education activities to increase their skills. The regulatory changes also amend 18 NYCRR 385.9 to formally establish a district's authority for reporting homework time which is completed as part of an individual's participation in approved educational activities.
