   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. Paragraphs (b) and (c) of subdivision 2 and subdivisions  7
 and  8  of  section 211-f of the education law, as added by section 1 of
 subpart H of part EE of chapter 56 of the laws of 2015, are  amended  to
 read as follows:
   (b) The receiver shall be authorized to manage and operate the failing
 or persistently failing school and shall have the power to supersede any
 decision, policy or regulation of the superintendent of schools or chief
 school  officer,  or of the board of education or another school officer
 or the building principal that in the  sole  judgment  of  the  receiver
 conflicts  with  the school intervention plan; provided however that the
 receiver may not supersede decisions that are not directly linked to the
 school intervention plan, including but not limited to EMPLOYMENT  DECI-
 SIONS, building usage plans, co-location decisions and transportation of
 students.  The  receiver  shall have authority to review proposed school
 district budgets prior to presentation to the district voters, or in the
 case of a city school district in a city  having  a  population  of  one
 hundred  twenty-five  thousand or more, of the adoption of a contingency
 budget, prior to approval by the board of education, and to  modify  the
 proposed budget to conform to the school intervention plan provided that
 such  modifications  shall be limited in scope and effect to the failing
 or persistently failing school and may not unduly impact  other  schools
 in  the district.   A school under receivership shall operate in accord-
 ance  with  laws  regulating  other  public  schools,  except  as   such
 provisions may conflict with this section.

  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
