BILL NUMBER:S3016
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to providing the Yonkers city school district with additional supplemental education improvement plan funds
Purpose
To provide the Yonkers City School District with additional SEIP Funds totaling the percentage enrollment growth multiplied by the District's Foundation Aid in the base year.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill amends Paragraph B of Subdivision 8 of Section 3641 of the Education Law, as amended by Section 29 of Part B of Chapter 57 of the laws of 2008 to provide for additional SEIP Funds based on the percentage increase in enrollment from the 2008-2009 to the 2012-2013 school year multiplied by the District's total Foundation Aid.
Justification
The Yonkers city School District has experienced significant enrollment increases flora the 2008-2009 school year to the current 2012-2013 school year. However, the State's freeze of Foundation Aid funding does not account for this growth thereby placing the District in the unfortunate position of having to educate more pupils without additional funding from the State. This legislation recognizes the increase of approximately 1,347 pupils, a 5.9% increase.
