BILL NUMBER:A10704
Title of bill
An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to prohibiting reductions in appropriations for the support of education during the state fiscal year
Purpose or general idea of bill
To stop budget cuts to New York State public schools, made after the regular session, from going into effect until after the end of the next school year.
Summary of specific provisions
A new paragraph (F) is amended into Subdivision 2, Section 40, of the State Finance Law.
Justification
Mid-year school cuts place an unfair burden on our school system. They force administrators to make adjustments in staffing and curriculum with little notice. Students may be forced to take classes which do not interest them and do not serve their particular educational needs. Contracted school employees deserve to have their contracts honored, while non-contracted support staff deserves the respect of keeping their hours and wage rates throughout the year.
