   Section  1. Legislative intent: It is the responsibility of the legis-
 lature under article XI of the constitution of the state of New York  to
 establish and maintain a system that will provide all children an oppor-
 tunity  to receive a meaningful high school education. As shown at trial

 clear  that  under current law resources sufficient to offer that educa-
 tion  in  eight  small  city  school  districts,  known  as  the  Maisto
 Districts, are not being provided. Therefore, it is the intention of the
 legislature to amend certain provisions of the education law to create a
 Maisto  District  Sound Basic Education Cost Panel to determine the cost
 of a sound basic education in each of the districts sufficient to  allow
 such  districts to provide all the children in the districts an opportu-
 nity to receive a meaningful high school education and to maintain heal-
 thy, vibrant educational communities.
   § 2. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Maisto  District
 sound basic education cost panel act".
   §  3.  Section  3641  of  the education law is amended by adding a new
 subdivision 17 to read as follows:
   17. MAISTO DISTRICT SOUND BASIC EDUCATION COST PANEL. THERE IS  HEREBY
 CREATED  THE  MAISTO  DISTRICT  SOUND BASIC EDUCATION COST PANEL FOR THE
 PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THE COST OF A SOUND BASIC EDUCATION  IN  EACH  OF
 THE  EIGHT  MAISTO  DISTRICTS, INCLUDING JAMESTOWN CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT,
 KINGSTON CITY  SCHOOL  DISTRICT,  MOUNT  VERNON  CITY  SCHOOL  DISTRICT,
 NEWBURGH  CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, NIAGARA FALLS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, PORT
 JERVIS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT, POUGHKEEPSIE CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND UTICA
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
