BILL NUMBER:S7122 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to charter schools providing special education services PURPOSE: This bill would enable charter schools to serve more students with special needs, including English language learners and students with disabilities, by authorizing Boards of Cooperative Educational Services to contract with charter schools and authorizing charter schools to establish consortia to serve students at different locations. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 of the bill amends section 1950(4)(h)(2) of the education law to authorize Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) to contract directly with charter schools to provide services. Section 2 of the bill amends section 2853(1)(b-1) of the education law by adding a new subparagraph (C) to authorize a charter school to provide programs and services to its students at a different location while being deemed to be operating at a single site.
