BILL NUMBER:S3555
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to central high school districts in the county of Suffolk
Purpose
Provides that the territory of central high school districts that merge in the county of Suffolk does not need to be contiguous.
Summary of provisions
Section one removes the stipulation that school districts must be contiguous in Section 1912 of the Education Law.
Justification
Section 1912 of the education laws allows central high school districts in Suffolk County to be formed by the combination of two or more central, union free or common school districts. The current law precludes districts whose territories are not contiguous from creating a central high school district. This bill removes the stipulation that school districts must be contiguous, and allows them to consider merging to create a central high school.
