BILL NUMBER:S1041
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to funds for teacher resource and computer training centers
Purpose or general idea of bill
The purpose of this bill is to make more equitable the funding mechanism for the Teacher Resource and Computer Training Centers.
Summary of specific provisions
This bill amends provisions of law pertaining to the Teacher Resource and Computer Training Centers by removing the statutory language that places a cap on the amount of funds the New York City public schools are eligible to receive.
Justification
The Teacher Resource and Computer Training Centers were established by the Legislature in 1984 to provide teachers with professional development services that would increase their general knowledge of current educational materials and techniques to facilitate enhanced teacher performance. This legislation would remove the cap that unfairly limits the distribution of these funds.
