   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

   Section  1.  Subparagraph 1 of paragraph b of subdivision 3 of section
 3602 of the education law, as amended by section 13 of part B of chapter
 57 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows:
   (1) "Alternate pupil wealth ratio" shall mean the number  computed  to
 three  decimals without rounding obtained when the adjusted gross income
 of a school district for the calendar year two years prior to the calen-
 dar year in which the base year began divided by the total wealth  pupil
 units of such district is divided by the statewide adjusted gross income
 per  total  wealth  pupil  unit. Such statewide average gross income per
 pupil shall be established each year by the commissioner  and  shall  be
 transmitted to school districts. Such statewide average shall be rounded
 to the nearest hundredth and shall include the adjusted gross income and
 total wealth pupil units of all school districts eligible for aid pursu-
 ant  to  this  section  except  central  high  school districts. For the
 purposes of calculating such statewide average the  data  for  the  city
 school  district  of  the  city of New York shall be citywide data.  THE
 CALCULATION OF THE ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME OF A SCHOOL DISTRICT SHALL  NOT
 INCLUDE  THE ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME OF THE ONE-HALF OF ONE PERCENT OF THE
 TAXPAYERS IN SUCH SCHOOL DISTRICT WHO HAVE THE GREATEST  ADJUSTED  GROSS
 INCOMES, AND SHALL NOT INCLUDE THE ADJUSTED GROSS INCOME OF THE ONE-HALF
 OF  ONE  PERCENT  OF  THE TAXPAYERS IN SUCH SCHOOL DISTRICT WHO HAVE THE
 LOWEST ADJUSTED GROSS INCOMES.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
