Title of bill
An act to validate certain acts of the Islip Union Free school district with regard to certain capital improvement projects
Purpose
Validates certain acts of the Islip Union Free School District with regard to thirteen capital improvement projects and provides for payment of state aid for such projects.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Finds that thirteen capital improvement projects of the Islip Union Free School District designated as project numbers 0003-12, 0011007, 0011-008, 0003-013, 0007-009, 0007-010, 0007-012, and 0011-009 are approved and eligible for State aid.
Section 2. Finds that all acts taken by Islip Union Free School District and its agents in relation to final cost reports are legalized, validated, ratified, and confirmed, notwithstanding any failure to comply with other required provisions, laws, or regulations. Any amount due and payable to the Islip Union Free School District for school years prior to the 2015-16 school year shall be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph c of subdivision 5 of section 3604 of the Education Law.
Section 3. Directs the Education Department to consider the approved costs of the projects as valid and proper obligations of the Islip Union Free School District.
Section 4. Provides that this act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
A delay in the filing of final cost reports related to two capital improvement projects has resulted in penalties to the school. This sum is composed of an assessed take-back on State Building Aid and a penalty based on the late filing. The loss resulting from these take-backs and the penalties assessed demonstrate a substantial burden to the school and its local taxpayers.
Local taxpayers should not be burdened with the significant undue expense as a result of this filing error committed several years ago. Today's Islip residents and the students who attend Islip Union Free School District should not be so severely penalized due to the series of oversights that occurred over the course of several years, many years ago.
This bill would ensure that any amount due and payable to the Islip Union Free School District for previous years shall be paid.
