BILL NUMBER:S5613 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to special provisions relating to instruction of certain children with handicapping conditions PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would reestablish the process by which the New York State Education Department ("NYSED") approves public and private out-of-state instructional facilities which it deems qualified to meet the needs of certain children for instruction. In November 2012, NYSED initiated a "temporary" administrative suspension of the approval of applications of preschool special education programs, school-age private school programs, and applications for expansions of currently approved preschool special education programs and approved school-age private schools. This suspension is to remain in effect until NYSED completes a review and revision to the application process for new programs and modifications to approved programs. This bill would require NYSED to move forward with the statutorily prescribed approval process in order to expand the scope of qualified public and private out-of-state instructional facilities while it carries out its review and revision to the application process.
