BILL NUMBER:A10131 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the powers and duties of boards of cooperative educational services PURPOSE: This bill would authorize boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES) to enter into contracts as necessary for corporate purposes; extend BOCES leasing authority from 10 to 20 years; and allow charter schools to contract with BOCES. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: This section would require that the Commissioner establish, by regulation, a process for approval of aidable and non-aidable cooperative services (COSERS.) This process would require an evaluation of the potential cost savings, efficiencies in facilities use, enhancement of educational opportunities, local and regional needs, and other matters which would enhance the opportunities for provision of COSER services regionally. These regulations are not intended to preclude BOCES from entering into inter-municipal agreements as otherwise authorized by law, but rather to establish a more compre- hensive, consistent and transparent process. In addition, this section makes a technical amendment which makes consistent references to BOCES COSER agreements in law. Section 2: Authorizes BOCES to enter into contracts as necessary to carry out the purposes of BOCES, as well as enter into contracts with charter schools.
