  Section  1.  Subdivision  9  of  section 3602 of the education law, as
amended by section 9 of part A of chapter 57 of the  laws  of  2013,  is
amended to read as follows:
  9.  Aid  for conversion to full day kindergarten. School districts may
make available full day kindergarten programs for all  children  wishing
to attend such programs.
  a. For aid payable in the [two thousand seven--two thousand eight] TWO
THOUSAND  SIXTEEN--TWO  THOUSAND  SEVENTEEN  school year and thereafter,

ment of children attending programs in the district in the base year  is
subtracted from such enrollment in the current year. THE REMAINING TRAN-
SITION AID SHALL BE APPORTIONED AS FOLLOWS:
  I.  AID  IN YEAR TWO SHALL EQUAL EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE AID RECEIVED BY
THE DISTRICT IN YEAR ONE.
  II. AID IN YEAR THREE SHALL EQUAL SIXTY  PERCENT OF THE  AID  RECEIVED
BY THE DISTRICT IN YEAR ONE.
