BILL NUMBER:S7345 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to vacancies on the community district education council PURPOSE: This bill would expand the pool of eligible parents for membership on the community district education councils, and would therefore widen participation for parents of English language learners and help fill vacancies. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill would amend Education Law section 2590-c(6)(b)(2), which deals with vacancies that result in community district education councils not having at least one parent of a student who is an English language learner. Section 2 of the bill would amend Education Law section 2590-c(8)(c), which deals with selection procedures for community district education council members and which provides that such selection procedures shall ensure that at least one position on the council is filled by a parent of a student who is an English language learner. Both sections of the bill add the same language to the existing provisions of the Education Law that each amends. The language that would be added simply expands the description, and thus statutory eligibility, to parents of students

Subparagraph 2 of paragraph (b) of subdivision 6 of section 2590-c of the education law, as added by chapter 345 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows: (2) If such vacancy results in the council not having at least one member who is a parent of a student who is an English language learner OR WHO HAS BEEN AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER WITHIN THE PRECEDING TWO YEARS, or results in the council not having at least one member who is a parent of a student with an individualized education program, the commu- nity council shall select a parent having such qualifications to fill the vacancy. S 2. Paragraph (c) of subdivision 8 of section 2590-c of the education law, as amended by chapter 345 of the laws of 2009, is amended to read as follows: (c) develop selection procedures for community council members which shall attempt to ensure membership that reflects a representative cross- section of the communities within the school district and diversity of the student population including those with particular educational needs, shall include consideration of the enrollment figures within each community district and the potential disparity of such enrollment from school to school within the district, and shall ensure that, to the extent possible, a school may have no more than one parent represen- tative on the community council. Such procedures shall ensure that at least one position on the community council is filled by a parent of a student who is an English language learner OR WHO HAS BEEN AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER WITHIN THE PRECEDING TWO YEARS, and at least one posi- tion is filled by a parent of a student with an individualized education program, and shall allow for the seven remaining positions to be filled by parents who are otherwise eligible.
