 Introduced by COMMITTEE ON RULES -- (at request of M. of A. Lunsford) --
   read once and referred to the Committee on Education
 
 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:
 
   Section 1. Paragraph b of subdivision 10 of section 3602 of the educa-
 tion  law,  as amended by section 16 of part B of chapter 57 of the laws
 of 2007, is amended to read as follows:
   b. Aid for career education. There shall be apportioned to  such  city
 school districts and other school districts which were not components of
 a  board of cooperative educational services in the base year for pupils
 in grades [ten] NINE through twelve in attendance  in  career  education
 programs  as  such programs are defined by the commissioner, subject for
 the purposes of this paragraph to the approval of the  director  of  the
 budget,  an amount for each such pupil to be computed by multiplying the
 career education aid ratio by [three] FOUR thousand [nine] THREE hundred
 dollars. Such aid will be payable for weighted pupils  attending  career
 education  programs  operated  by  the  school district and for weighted
 pupils for whom such school district contracts with  boards  of  cooper-
 ative  educational services to attend career education programs operated
 by a board of cooperative educational services. Weighted pupils for  the
 purposes  of  this  paragraph  shall  mean  the sum of the attendance of
 students in  grades  [ten]  NINE  through  twelve  in  career  education
 sequences  in  trade,  industrial,  technical,  agricultural  or  health
 programs plus the  product  of  sixteen  hundredths  multiplied  by  the
 attendance  of  students  in  grades [ten] NINE through twelve in career
 education sequences in business and marketing as defined by the  commis-
 sioner  in regulations. The career education aid ratio shall be computed
 by subtracting from one the product obtained by  multiplying  fifty-nine
 percent  by the combined wealth ratio. This aid ratio shall be expressed

 as a decimal carried to three places without rounding, but not less than
 thirty-six percent.
   Any school district that receives aid pursuant to this paragraph shall
 be  required  to use such amount to support career education programs in
 the current year.
   A board of education which spends less than its local funds as defined
 by regulations of the commissioner for career education in the base year
 during the current year shall have its apportionment under this subdivi-
 sion reduced in an amount equal to such deficiency in the current  or  a
 succeeding school year, provided however that the commissioner may waive
 such reduction upon determination that overall expenditures per pupil in
 support  of career education programs were continued at a level equal to
 or greater than the level of such overall expenditures per pupil in  the
 preceding school year.
   §  2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to school
 years commencing on and after July 1, 2022.
