 2025-2026 Regular Sessions

 IN SENATE

 January 23, 2025
 ___________

 Introduced by Sens. COONEY, ASHBY, HINCHEY -- read twice and ordered
 printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee on Educa-
 tion

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to certain special
 services aid for large city school districts and other school
 districts which were not components of a board of cooperative educa-
 tional services in the base year

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

 1 Section 1. Paragraph b of subdivision 10 of section 3602 of the educa-
 2 tion law, as amended by section 16 of part B of chapter 57 of the laws
 3 of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
 4 b. Aid for career education. There shall be apportioned to such city
 5 school districts and other school districts which were not components of
 6 a board of cooperative educational services in the base year for pupils
 7 in grades [ten] nine through twelve in attendance in career education
 8 programs as such programs are defined by the commissioner, subject for
 9 the purposes of this paragraph to the approval of the director of the
 10 budget, an amount for each such pupil to be computed by multiplying the
 11 career education aid ratio by [three] four thousand [nine] three hundred
 12 dollars. Such aid will be payable for weighted pupils attending career
 13 education programs operated by the school district and for weighted
 14 pupils for whom such school district contracts with boards of cooper-
 15 ative educational services to attend career education programs operated
 16 by a board of cooperative educational services. Weighted pupils for the
 17 purposes of this paragraph shall mean the sum of the attendance of
 18 students in grades [ten] nine through twelve in career education
 19 sequences in trade, industrial, technical, agricultural or health
 20 programs plus the product of sixteen hundredths multiplied by the
 21 attendance of students in grades [ten] nine through twelve in career
 22 education sequences in business and marketing as defined by the commis-

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

 S. 3143 2

 1 sioner in regulations. The career education aid ratio shall be computed
 2 by subtracting from one the product obtained by multiplying fifty-nine
 3 percent by the combined wealth ratio. This aid ratio shall be expressed
 4 as a decimal carried to three places without rounding, but not less than
 5 thirty-six percent.
 6 Any school district that receives aid pursuant to this paragraph shall
 7 be required to use such amount to support career education programs in
 8 the current year.
 9 A board of education which spends less than its local funds as defined
 10 by regulations of the commissioner for career education in the base year
 11 during the current year shall have its apportionment under this subdivi-
 12 sion reduced in an amount equal to such deficiency in the current or a
 13 succeeding school year, provided however that the commissioner may waive
 14 such reduction upon determination that overall expenditures per pupil in
 15 support of career education programs were continued at a level equal to
 16 or greater than the level of such overall expenditures per pupil in the
 17 preceding school year.
 18 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to school
 19 years commencing on and after July 1, 2025.
