Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act relating to legalizing, validating, ratifying and confirming a transportation contract of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District
Purpose
This bill would correct a clerical error between the Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District and the State Education Department in the 2014-15 school year
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: Legalizes, validates, ratifies, and confirms a transportation contract of $5,642,308 in connection with a transportation contract of the 2014-15 school year.
Section 2: Directs the Department of Education to consider the aforementioned contract for transportation aid.
Section 3: Sets the effective date
Justification
This bill seeks to mitigate the negative impact to the Plainview-Old Bethpage school district which would lose a major portion of its State aid due to a clerical error on the part of the district, which may result in the loss of transportation aid. Without the restoration of the transportation aid, the school district would be faced with either cutting the quality and scope of its educational programs or raising real property taxed dramatically. This would place an undue burden on their residents and present hardships to many in their community.
