Yes, the English Language Arts Core Curriculum (2005), available at http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/ciai/ela/elarg.html, gives guidance regarding handwriting instruction. It states: students will use legible manuscript (print) and/or cursive writing. The instructional approach to teaching handwriting is a local decision.
