BILL NUMBER:S586 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to restricting the sale, lease, transfer or authorization of open-air schoolhouse playgrounds for certain uses PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: The purpose of this bill is to encourage the retention of adequate outdoor playground space for New York City school children. Further, that if existing playgrounds are sold, leased, transferred or used for school building construction in a way that eliminates such playground space, that the school establish a plan to secure suitable and adequate playground space for the physical recreational needs of such pupils. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1: Education Law section 2556(5) is amended to add a new sentence to this provision to encourage the school to provide for other types of recreational play spaces if existing playgrounds are subsequently used for school construction or siting of temporary classroom unites. Under current law, Section 2556(5) requires open-air playgrounds be attached to all schoolhouses constructed in the city of New York.
