Can school districts require students to complete summer reading assignments?
The State Education Department has long encouraged students to read during the summer. If your school district is requiring a student to complete a reading assignment over the summer, there are a few requirements to consider. Please see the following 2009 memo issued by the Department http://www.p12.nysed.gov/ciai/ela/summerreading09.html . This memo gives guidance for locally required summer reading assignments.
