BILL NUMBER:A8871C
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 118 of the laws of 1969, relat- ing to a separate union free school district in the town of Greenburgh in the county of Westchester, in relation to clarifying the authority of the Greenburgh North Castle Union Free School District to lease certain properties located outside of its boundaries
Purpose or general idea of the bill
This legislation will authorize the Greenburgh North Castle Union Free School District to continue leasing property outside of district boundaries for the purpose of providing instruction to students.
Section 1: Authorizes the District to lease property located at one hundred eight Shonnard Place in the city of Yonkers for the purpose of providing instruction to students enrolled in the school district.
Section 2: Ratifies previous Board action regarding lease arrangements at the site.
Section 3: Establishes the effective date.
Justification
The Greenburgh North Castle Union Free School District is a special act district that currently operates programs to serve special needs students. In 2005, the district opened the Greenburgh: Academy in Yonkers which now serves over 170 students Since the present location is outside of the Districts physical boundaries, the authorization to lease space for the Academy has been secured through a waiver issued by the State Education Department. This legislation will negate. the need for a waiver from the Education Department while ensuring that important student services will continue without interruption.
