The Indigenous Studies Standards are written so that school districts can adapt them as needed in their local area. Each of the proposed New York State standards includes the phrase “local indigenous” specifically for that reason. For the local standard “local indigenous” was simply replaced with “Onöndowa’ga:’(Seneca).” It is expected that a school district in Mohawk territory, as an example, would work with the Mohawk community to create a set of local standards that are appropriate. Salamanca School District is located in Ohi:yo’ territory (Allegany territory of the Seneca people) and the Onöndowa’ga:’(Seneca) community was included to create the local standards and content. This should only be regarded as a model for those outside of Ohi:yo’ territory.
Beginning in the 2010-2011 school year, students enrolled in grades eight or earlier may be granted one unit of credit by successfully completing two units of study in a language other than English and passing a locally developed test, both of which are aligned to the checkpoint A learning standards for languages other than English, which has been approved for high school credit by the public school district superintendent or the chief administrative officer of a registered charter or nonpublic high school provided, however, that for the 2019-2020 school year, the August 2020 summer school session, the 2020-2021 school year and the August 2021 summer school session due to the COVID-19 crisis, where a principal, in consultation with relevant faculty, determines that a student has met the standards assessed in the provided coursework leading to the checkpoint A locally developed test, the district may choose to waive the test requirement and grant such student one unit of credit. Where the test requirement has been waived no score shall be recorded on a student’s transcript or permanent record for such test.
