Public Forums to Present Condition Reports
Each year the NYS Board of Regents and the Consortium hold a joint public forum to present drafts of the Consortium's most recent research on the Condition of New York Schools. The report authors and presenters are nationally recognized experts on education issues and their reports contain the most up-to-date and well-informed education policy research available. Education experts provide formal comments on the reports and members of the audience are encouraged to ask questions, discuss the implications of the research findings and suggest avenues for further research. The researchers modify their reports using the feedback before the reports are finalized and published.

Symposia
Every few years, the Board of Regents and the Consortium governors choose a symposium topic and assemble a panel of education experts from around the country. Each panel member analyzes an area of the chosen topic in depth, examines its relevance to New York State education policy, and prepares a paper on their analysis. The papers are then presented and discussed at a public symposium.
