S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 9336 I N S E N A T E May 17, 2022 ___________ Introduced by Sen. BAILEY -- (at request of the State Education Depart- ment) -- read twice and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Education AN ACT to establish a juvenile justice education task force to address effective coordination and programmatic coherence in the provision of educational opportunities and services to certain students; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings and declarations. The legislature hereby finds and declares that there is a significant lack of effective coordination and programmatic coherence in the provision of educational opportunities and services to students in juvenile justice settings. When youth must be confined, detention and placement settings provide an opportunity to re-engage them in their education and future and to reset their trajectory. These programs must plan for and support youth reentry to the community, including working with the student's school of reentry to ensure credits are granted for work accomplished while in confinement and re-enrollment in school in the community. Educational programs provided in juvenile justice settings have struggled to recruit and retain New York State certified teachers; provide access to all core academic courses required to obtain a New York State Regents Diploma; and design quality, culturally and linguistically responsive and engag- ing instruction to meet the extensive, critical needs of this consist- ently shifting student population. Lack of access to state and federal education funds for core educational services, delayed access to students' records, rolling admissions and discharges, as well as barri- ers to re-enrollment, and providing supports to students as they transi- tion back to public and nonpublic schools have contributed to this situ- ation. Incarcerated youth funds were originally to support students between the ages of 16 and 21 in county jails. Since implementation of New York's "raise the age law" pursuant to part WWW of chapter 59 of the laws of 2017, incarcerated youth funds for jails have declined, as 16- and 17-year-old students are placed in detention and other settings EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
