BILL NUMBER:S5011A
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 879 of the laws of 1939, relating to a separate union free school district in the town of Mount Pleasant in the County of Westchester, in relation to clarifying the authority of the school district to utilize certain property located outside of its boundaries
Purpose of bill
This legislation is necessary to authorize the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls Union Free School District to continue to provide educational programming for the Geller House located at 77 Chicago Avenue, Staten Island, New York 10305.
Summary of provisions
Chapter 879 of the laws of 1939 is amended by adding a new section 2-a, to authorize the continuance of educational programming to the Geller House located in Staten Island, New York.
Justification
The Gellar House is a short term residential diagnostic rapid intervention center operated by the Jewish Board of Family and Children's Services in cooperation with the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls Union Free School District which provides the facility's educational services. The association is required because the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls Union Free School District provides year round access to education to the residents at the Gellar House who are unable to attend school during the regular public school year when schools are closed during the summer, holidays, spring break and other times of recess.
The New York State Department of Education recently identified a technical inconsistency with this education collaboration and indicated legislation is necessary to resolve this discrepancy and allow the Hawthorne Cedar Knolls Union Free School District to continue educational programming at the Gellar House.
