Summary
New York State education officials said four Regents science exams will proceed Thursday, rejecting student and parent appeals to reschedule them for the Knicks’ championship parade.
10 a.m. parade timing directly conflicts with two morning tests—Living Environment and Life Science: Biology—while Earth Science and Earth and Space follow in the afternoon.
Several hundred thousand students statewide take Regents exams each year, and officials said the schedule was set long before the Knicks won their first NBA title in 53 years.
Zohran Mamdani announced the parade date after Saturday’s victory, but the mayor has no authority over state-set Regents exams and on Monday urged students to stay in school.
