BILL NUMBER:A10565
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to quali- fications of school district officers
Purpose
This bill attempts to establish minimum qualification require- ments for school-district officers.
Summary of provisions
Chapter 737 of the laws of 1992 is amended to expand the requirements for school-district officers to have either a high school diploma or a General Education Diploma.
Justification
New York students deserve a quality education. But admin- istrative barriers stand in their way. There is currently no minimum educational standard for school-board members in New York State. These individuals are responsible for multi-million-dollar budgets as well as their scholastic requirements for thousands of students in a school district. This loophole can undermine proper budget management and nega- tively impacts long-term financial planning. This bill would require mandatory educational requirements for members of a school board who manage budgets, set curricula and other educational standards, and nego- tiate building and construction contracts.
