BILL NUMBER:S780A
Title of bill
An act to authorize approval of certain transportation contracts of the Massapequa union free school district
Purpose
To amend the education law, in reference to certain acts of the Massapequa Union Free School District regarding transportation contracts for the 2008-2009 through 2011-2012 school years.
Summary of provisions
Section § 1 ratifies the Education law in to legalize, validate, ratify and confirm notwithstanding any failure to comply with the contract award;
Section § 2 directs the transportation aid as valid and proper.
Section § 3 requires that this act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
The Massapequa Union Free School District followed proper procedure in completing, transportation contracts from 2008-2009 through 2011-2012. Unfortunately, a former employee failed to submit the contracts to the Stale Education Department in a timely manner. In response, Massapequa has provided to SED all of the necessary paperwork required to file for transportation contracts, demonstrating their intent to follow the proper procedures. However SED is unable to accept these contracts because they were not filed on time, this legislation is necessary to enable SED to award these contracts. This legislation is required for the school district to receive the appropriate transportation aid as they would otherwise be entitled to under state law.
