TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to
adjournment of school district elections and budget votes in certain
school districts
PURPOSE: Relates to adjournment of school district elections and budget
votes in certain school districts.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Section 2022 of the education law is
amended by adding a new subdivision 7.
Section 2: Enacting clause.
JUSTIFICATION: The Highland Falls Central School District has requested
a delay in their budget vote to give them time to ascertain how much aid
they will receive from the federal government Due to the fact that 93%
of their taxable land is owned by the state and federal government, the
Highland Falls school district relies heavily on the federal government
to supplement their tax base with funding through Title VIII of the
Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. This bill will also
provide the school district with more time to see if there is any addi-
tional state aid restored in the 2010 state budget
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.
