Re: Ukrainian language test

NEW PALTZ, N.Y. - Parents are asked not to call the New York State Department of Education in reference to the annual high school Ukrainian language test.

As was clearly stated in the announcement (published March 8), only the principal's office may contact the Department of Education, not anyone individually. Students must apply to their school principal.

Also, copies of the previous years' exams should be available at the listed schools where such exams are given; they should be requested there, and not at the Department of Education. Inappropriate calls to the department have created problems and uncalled-for complications for the committee preparing this exam, according to Oksana Bakum.
