AN  ACT in relation to the profession of parent-coordinators in the city
  of New York

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  The  legislature  finds that a new critical job category,
that of parent-coordinator, has been developed in an effort  to  improve
the  delivery  of educational services and to improve a partnership with
parents. The legislature further finds that, given the potentially crit-
ical role of parent-coordinator in the attainment of  improved  academic
performance  of  children,  the quality and competency standards of this
new profession should fall under the jurisdiction of the state education
department and state board of regents.
  S 2. The state education department, in cooperation with the New  York
city  department  of  education  and various prestigious institutions of
higher education, shall develop a core  curriculum  and  examination  to
ensure  the minimum competency of persons to be employed as parent-coor-
dinators in the city of New York.
  S 3. The state board of education shall prepare and submit a report to
the speaker of the assembly and the temporary president  of  the  senate
within  one  year  of  the effective date of this act. Such report shall
include a timeline for the implementation of minimum  competency  stand-
ards for the parent-coordinator profession.
  S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
