 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to allowing school prin-
 cipals in the city of New York to hire coaches who are not also teach-
 ers

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. 1. The legislature finds that a well-
 2 rounded education includes opportunities for students to excel not only
 3 academically but also athletically, fostering character development,
 4 discipline, and teamwork.
 5 2. The legislature further recognizes that diverse coaching expertise
 6 enhances the quality of student-athlete training and contributes to
 7 their overall growth, potentially leading to improved athletic and
 8 academic achievements.
 9 3. The intent of this legislation is to empower school principals to
 10 make informed decisions regarding coaching appointments, allowing for
 11 the selection of qualified individuals who possess the necessary skills
 12 and passion to inspire and guide student-athletes.
 13 § 2. Section 2573 of the education law is amended by adding a new
 14 subdivision 18 to read as follows:
 15 18. (a) In a city having a population of one million or more, notwith-
 16 standing any other regulation, policy, collective bargaining agreement,
 17 or provision of law, each school principal shall have the authority to
 18 hire coaches for any sport within the school of such principal, regard-
 19 less of whether the prospective coach is a current teacher within the
 20 school system. Coaches hired pursuant to this subdivision shall meet the
 21 qualifications set forth by the relevant athletic organizations and
 22 shall be subject to all required training and certifications for the
 23 sport they will coach.
