New York’s Board of Regents are looking at ways to cut costs.

Those ideas include reducing the number of Regents exams they offer and cutting back on the translations of the tests.

The Education Department is facing a projected deficit of $11.5 million next year and $21.3 million the following year, but those could change based on a number of factors.

The first Regents tests targeted for elimination include all foreign language exams, grade 5 and 8 social studies exams, Global History and Geography, US History and Government and three of the four current science exams.

Other proposed cost-cutting measures would eliminate Regents exams in January and August and the translation of some exams into other languages.
