My phone has been ringing off the hook for the past two days with parents looking for answers and support. I am relieved to find that www.InsideSchools.org has the answers to most questions. 

... except for one:

I strongly encourage parents to appeal any Regents score that is lower than they had expected. 

Read the article for information about the situation and about how to initiate an appeal:
