 Introduced by M. of A. STECK -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to special day schools
 and the instruction of school delinquents

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 2 of section 3214 of the education law, as
 2 amended by chapter 181 of the laws of 2000, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 2. Special day schools. The school authorities of any city or school
 5 district [may] shall establish schools or set apart rooms in public
 6 school buildings for the instruction of school delinquents, and fix the
 7 number of days per week and the hours per day of required attendance,
 8 which shall not be less than is required of minors attending the full
 9 time day schools. Such schools or rooms shall be used for the instruc-
 10 tion of school delinquents, except when a student's violent behavior has
 11 made such student an unreasonable risk to the teachers and students in
 12 such schools or rooms, or when the student's delinquent activity contin-
 13 ues to repeat while in attendance at such school or room such that the
 14 student's behavior poses an unreasonable risk to the education of the
 15 other children in such school or room, in which case the city or school
 16 district shall follow the procedures set forth in subdivision three of
 17 this section. Two or more school districts may contract to share special
 18 schools or special school rooms established pursuant to this subdivi-
 19 sion. A school district shall be authorized to use a special school or
 20 special school rooms established by another district, or two or more
 21 districts may cooperate in the creation of such special school or school
 22 rooms. Such school districts may also, where appropriate, share costs
 23 associated with the transportation of students to and from shared
 24 special schools.
 25 § 2. This act shall take effect on the first of July next succeeding
 26 the date on which it shall have become a law.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
