   (10)  To  enter into contracts [of no more than five years and subject
 to the sunset date  of  this  subparagraph,]  with  out-of-state  school

 services or for the use of existing products that demonstrate how to map

 STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL SHALL MEAN AN ELEMENTARY OR SECONDARY SCHOOL  OR  AN
 INSTITUTION  OF  HIGHER  EDUCATION,  LOCATED  OUTSIDE  OF NEW YORK STATE
 INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED  TO  THOSE  LOCATED  OUTSIDE  THE  CONTINENTAL
 UNITED  STATES.  Any contract shall be approved by the commissioner, the
 board of cooperative educational services and the  district  superinten-
 dent of schools, provided such services are made available to any school
 district  within  the  supervisory district and that the requirements of
 this subparagraph are met. Contracts must be executed by  the  board  of
 cooperative educational services and the trustees or boards of education
 of  such  out-of-state school districts and shall only authorize out-of-
 state students to  participate  in  an  instructional  program  if  such

 of-state  students only comprises up to five percent of the total number
 of the total enrolled students in the instructional program at the board
 of  cooperative  educational  services and that the board of cooperative
 educational services spends no more than thirty percent of  its  employ-
 ees' time on services to out-of-state districts pursuant to this subpar-
 agraph.  To  be approved by the commissioner, the contract and any busi-
 ness plan, shall demonstrate that any services provided to  out-of-state
 schools pursuant to this subparagraph shall not result in any additional
 costs  being imposed on component school districts and that any payments
 received by the board of cooperative educational services  for  services
 provided in this subparagraph that exceed any cost to the board of coop-
 erative  educational  services  for  providing  such  services  shall be
 applied to reduce the costs of  aidable  shared  services  allocated  to

 ant to subdivision five of this section. Services provided by a board of
 cooperative educational services to component districts at the  time  of

 the amendments to subparagraph 10 of paragraph h  of  subdivision  4  of
