BILL NUMBER:S4145A
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to the Syracuse city school district
Purpose
To provide the Syracuse City School District with additional Academic Enhancement Aid funds totaling the percentage enrollment growth multiplied by the District's Foundation Aid in the base year.
Summary of provisions
This bill would provide the Syracuse City School District with addi- tional Academic Enhancement Aid funds by providing for additional aid totaling the percentage increase in enrollment in 2009-2010 multiplied by the District's total Foundation Aid.
Justification
The Syracuse City School District has experienced significant enrollment increases in the 2009-2010 school year. The State's freeze in Foundation Aid funding does not account for this growth thereby placing the District in the unfortunate position of having to educate more pupils with no additional money from the State. This bill would recognize the increase of 383 pupils, a 1.9% increase, and provide $4.178 million in additional funds for the District.
