amended by section 9 of part A of chapter 57 of the  laws  of  2013,  is
amended to read as follows:
  9.  Aid  for conversion to full day kindergarten. School districts may

  a. For aid payable in the [two thousand seven--two thousand eight] TWO
THOUSAND  SIXTEEN--TWO  THOUSAND  SEVENTEEN  school year and thereafter,

ment of children attending programs in the district in the base year  is
subtracted from such enrollment in the current year. THE REMAINING TRAN-
