BILL NUMBER: S273
TITLE OF BILL :
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to authorizing
educational institutions to pay the salaries and compensation of
school crossing guards
PURPOSE :
This legislation removes the current legislative barrier that
prohibits school districts, BOCES, charter schools, and other public
schools from contributing to the salaries of school crossing guards
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
Section 1 of the bill amends 208-a of the General Municipal Law to
provide that school districts, BOCES, charter schools, and any other
public or private education institution may pay for part or all of
school crossing guards' salaries. Currently, school districts, BOCES,
charter schools, and other public educational institutions are
prohibited from contributing, in whole or in part, to the salary of
school crossing guards. In an era when intermunicipal cooperation is
critical to improving the quality of services provided by local
governments while at the same time decreasing the cost of providing
those services, it is imperative that any obstacle to such cooperation
be removed.
