BILL NUMBER: S1110           Revised 5/13/2021

SPONSOR: LIU
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to requirements associ-
ated with the New York city community school district system

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To enact the recommendations of the Education Council Consortium regard-
ing the abilities, composition and service terms of citywide councils
for NYC education: the Citywide Council on High School (CCHS), the City-
wide Council on Special Education (CCSE), the Citywide Council on
English Language Learners (CCELL), and the Citywide Council for Distract
75 (CCD75)

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 clarifies that the citywide councils are able to participate
in the election of a member of the NYC board of education (aka PEP, the

Panel for Education Policy)

Section 2 makes changes to the eligibility of CCELL members Section 3
makes changes to the eligibility of CCHS members Section 4 provides the
effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

During the 2019 budget, changes were made to the NYC education law
regarding the composition of the Panel for Education Policy (PEP) to
allow for one member to be voted in by the community education councils.

This bill clarifies that the citywide education council presidents
should also have a voice in determining the PEP member to represent
them. During the past election for that PEP member, the citywide educa-
tion council presidents were excluded from the voting.  The bill also
changes the eligibility requirements of CCELL and CCHS to allow members
to continue serving where they were previously ineligible. These eligi-
bility changes will allow for those positions to be filled more easily.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

BILL NUMBER: S1110C

SPONSOR: LIU
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the education law, in relation to requirements associ-
ated with the New York city community school district system and the
length of certain council members' terms

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To enact the recommendations of the Citywide Councils and Education
Council Consortium regarding the abilities, composition and service
terms of the 4 Citywide Councils for NYC education: the Citywide Council
on High School (CCHS), the Citywide Council on Special Education (CCSE),
the Citywide Council on English Language Learners (CCELL), and the City-
wide Council for Distract 75 (CCD75)

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 adds a new clause that allows the citywide council presidents
to participate in the election of a member of the NYC board of education

(aka PEP, the Panel for Education Policy)

Section 2 allows for CCSE members to serve out their term even if they
lose their eligibility mid-term

Section 3 makes changes to the eligibility of CCELL members

Section 4 & 5 makes changes to the eligibility of CCHS members

Section 6 provides the effective date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

During the 2019 budget, changes were made to the NYC education law
regarding the composition of the Panel for Education Policy (PEP) to
allow for one member to be voted in by the community education council
presidents.

This bill allows for the citywide education council presidents to also
have a vote in determining the PEP member that represents them.  During
the past election for that PEP member, the citywide education council
presidents were excluded from the voting.

The bill also changes the eligibility requirements of CCSE, CCELL and
CCHS to allow members to serve or continue serving where they were
previously ineligible. These changes will allow for those positions to
be filled more easily and reduces the need for special elections due to
a loss of eligibility mid-term.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2019 Passed Senate

2020 New York City Education Committee

 
FISCAL IMPACT:

none

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately
