Introduced by Sen. FARLEY -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
printed to be committed to the Committee on Education
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the projection of
increases in school enrollment
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subparagraph (v) of paragraph b of subdivision 4 of section
2023 of the education law, as separately amended by section 1 of part D2
of chapter 57 and chapter 422 of the laws of 2007, is amended to read as
follows:
(v) expenditures in the contingency budget attributable to projected
increases in public school enrollment, which, for the purpose of this
subdivision, may include increases attributable to the enrollment of
students attending a pre-kindergarten program established in accordance
with section thirty-six hundred two-e of this chapter, to be computed
based upon an increase in enrollment from the year prior to the base
year for which the budget is being adopted to the base year for which
the budget is being adopted, provided that where the trustees or board
of education have documented evidence that a further increase in enroll-
ment will occur during the school year for which the contingency budget
is prepared because of new construction, inception of a pre-kindergarten
program, growth or similar factors, the expenditures attributable to
such additional enrollment may also be disregarded. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY
OTHER PROVISION OF THIS SUBDIVISION, IN DETERMINING PROJECTED INCREASES
IN PUBLIC SCHOOL ENROLLMENT, A SCHOOL DISTRICT SHALL COMPUTE PROJECTED
ENROLLMENT FOR THE CURRENT SCHOOL YEAR IN THE SAME MANNER AS SET FORTH
IN PARAGRAPH G OF SUBDIVISION TWO OF SECTION THIRTY-SIX HUNDRED TWO OF
THIS CHAPTER;
S 2. This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
the date on which it shall have become a law.
EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
[ ] is old law to be omitted.
