BILL NUMBER:S5031A

Title of bill

An act to provide for the payment of public high cost excess cost aid for the 2008-2009 school year to the Wyandanch union free school district

Purpose

This bill provides for the expeditious payment of public high cost excess cost aid for the 2008-2009 school year to the Wyandanch union free school district.

Summary of provisions

Section 1 of the bill requires the New York State Education Department to pay to Wyandanch UFSD the 2008-2009 public high cost excess aid that it is entitled to from the supplemental aid payable during the 2011-2012 state fiscal year prior to the payment of supplemental aid to any other school district.

Section 2 of the bill contains the effective date.

Justification

The Wyandanch UFSD, through administrative oversight, failed to apply for its NYS Department of Education 2008-2009 "public high cost excess cost aid" worth approximately $1.5 Million. The District is currently facing considerable lay-offs and the receipt of the aforementioned aid in the 2001-2012 school year would allow many of those jobs to be saved.

Legislative history

New bill.

Fiscal implications

None. These monies are already designated to be paid by the Department of Education.

Local fiscal implications

Timely infusion of $1,500,000 to the Wyandanch UFSD.

Effective date

This act shall take effect immediately.
