BILL NUMBER:S2629
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to charter school locations in New York city
Purpose
This bill would require full compliance with ULURP before a charter school could be located in New York City owned space, including public schools.
Summary of provisions
Section one of the bill amends Education Law section 2853, subdivision 3, paragraph a, by adding new language that requires full compliance with ULURP before a charter school can be located in New York City owned space, including public schools.
Section 2 of the bill is the effective date.
Justification
Under the New York City Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP), when city owned properties are to be sold, transferred, or leased ULURP review is required. The ULURP process includes a specific timeline, review by a community board and approval by the City Council. Under current law, New York City public school buildings are excluded from the ULURP process.
This bill would require the ULURP process to be applied before changes regarding charter schools are made that affect New York City public school buildings or other city-owned properties. It would not preclude charter schools from using, leasing or purchasing Department of Education or other city-owned property, but would allow parents, the community board and the City Council their proper role in reviewing and approving these changes to the use of city property.
