An act to provide an apportionment to the Yonkers city school district based upon universal prekindergarten enrollment
Purpose
To provide the Yonkers City School District with additional aid equal to the District's-Universal Prekindergarten enrollment for the 2009-2010 school year multiplied by the difference between the District's selected Foundation Aid per pupil and the District's Universal Prekindergarten Grant per pupil.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, effective July 1, 2016, there shall be an apportionment made to the Yonkers city school district. The apportionment shall be made for an amount equivalent to the base year total of universal prekindergarten pupils served multiplied by the value calculated by subtracting from the selected foundation aid per pupil, the quotient calculated by dividing the base year universal prekindergarten grant by the base year total of universal prekindergarten pupils.
