    13    foundation increase as defined herein less
    14    the  selected  local share, with a minimum

    27    tion increase factor.
    28  (D) The selected local share shall be  equal
    29    to  the  lesser  of (a) the product of the
    30    per  pupil  foundation  increase  and  the

    25    to the product of  the  scaled  per  pupil
    26    amount  multiplied by the base year public

    40    ensure    that   funds   supplement,   not
    41    supplant, expenditures from  local,  state
    42    and federal funds for services provided to
    43    public  school  students, except that such
    44    funds may be  used  to  continue  services

    46    of 2016 in prior years.  Such  expenditure
    47    plan shall be revised in consultation with

     4    be  submitted  along with comments made by
     5    the  community  to  the  commissioner  for

     8    expenditure  plan,  the commissioner shall
     9    approve or deny such plan in writing  and,
    10    if   denied,  shall  include  the  reasons
    11    therefor.  The  district  in  consultation

    22    as set forth in chapter 89 of the laws  of

    34    the  approved  expenditures  to  the state
    35    comptroller for payment no later  than  60

     1      portion of the funds appropriated herein shall be available, subject
     2      to a plan developed by the commissioner of education and approved by
     3      the  director  of  the  budget,  for  grants to ensure appropriately
     4      certified teachers in schools providing special services or programs
     5      as  defined  in paragraphs e, g, i and l of subdivision 2 of section
     6      4401 of the education law to children placed by school districts and
     7      in approved preschool programs that provide full and half-day educa-
     8      tional programs in accordance with section 4410 of the education law
     9      for children placed by school district. Provided  further  that,  in
    10      the  allocation  of funds, priority shall be given to those programs
    11      with a demonstrated need to increase the number of certified  teach-
    12      ers to comply with state and federal requirements.  Such funds shall
    13      be  made available for such activities as certification preparation,
    14      training, assisting schools with personnel shortages and  supporting
    15      activities  that improve the delivery of services to improve results
    16      for children with disabilities. Provided further that  notwithstand-
    17      ing  any  inconsistent  provision  of law, of the funds appropriated
    18      herein: (i) $2,000,000 shall be available for  payments  to  schools
    19      providing  special  services or programs as defined in paragraphs e,
    20      g, i, and l of subdivision 2 of section 4401 of the education law to
    21      help  prevent  excessive  instructional  staff  turnover  through  a
    22      targeted  adjustment  of  compensation for teachers providing direct
    23      instructional services to students at such schools. The commissioner
    24      of education shall  develop  an  allocation  plan,  subject  to  the
    25      approval  of  the  director  of  the  budget, that distributes funds
    26      appropriated herein among eligible schools, as defined herein,  that
    27      qualify  based on the following criteria: eligible schools are those
    28      that have complied with all  applicable  requirements  for  previous
    29      grants  for  this purpose and whose average teacher salary are below
    30      the salary provided  for  similarly  qualified  teachers  in  public
    31      schools  in the region in which such eligible school is located. The
    32      allocation to each qualifying school shall be  calculated  based  on
    33      the  number of weighted full time equivalent (FTE) staff, as defined
    34      herein, in the per FTE award amount. The total  number  of  weighted
    35      FTE  shall  be  determined  by  multiplying the actual number of FTE
    36      teachers providing classroom instruction at each school,  as  deter-
    37      mined  by the commissioner, by: 1) a factor of 2.0 for those schools
    38      where average salaries that are 50  percent  or  less  of  those  in
    39      public  school located in the same geographic region; 2) a factor of
    40      1.5 for those schools where average salaries that are 50 percent and
    41      75 percent of public schools located in the same geographic  region;
    42      or  3)  a factor of 1.0 for those schools where the average salaries
    43      that are 75-100 percent  of  public  schools  located  in  the  same
    44      geographic  region. The per FTE teacher award amount shall be calcu-
    45      lated by dividing the $2,000,000 by the total number of weighted FTE
    46      staff; (ii) $2,000,000 shall be available for  payments  to  schools
    47      providing  special  services or programs as defined in paragraphs e,
    48      g, i, and l of subdivision 2 of section 4401 of  the  education  law
    49      and  approved  preschool programs in accordance with section 4410 of
    50      the education law to  help  prevent  excessive  instructional  staff
    51      turnover  through a targeted adjustment of compensation for teachers
    52      providing direct instructional services to students at such schools.

    21      the salary provided  for  similarly  qualified  teachers  in  public
    22      schools  in the region in which such eligible school is located. The
    23      allocation to each qualifying school shall be  calculated  based  on
    24      the  number of weighted full time equivalent (FTE) staff, as defined
    25      herein, in the per FTE award amount. The total  number  of  weighted

    34      that are 75-100 percent  of  public  schools  located  in  the  same
    35      geographic  region. The per FTE teacher award amount shall be calcu-
    36      lated by dividing the $2,000,000 by the total number of weighted FTE
    37      staff; (ii) $2,000,000 shall be available for  payments  to  schools
    38      providing  special  services or programs as defined in paragraphs e,

     2      help  prevent  excessive  instructional  staff  turnover  through  a
     3      targeted adjustment of compensation for  teachers  providing  direct
     4      instructional services to students at such schools. The commissioner
     5      of  education  shall  develop  an  allocation  plan,  subject to the
     6      approval of the director  of  the  budget,  that  distributes  funds
     7      appropriated  herein among eligible schools, as defined herein, that
     8      qualify based on the following criteria: eligible schools are  those
     9      that  have  complied  with  all applicable requirements for previous
    10      grants for this purpose and whose average teacher salary  are  below
    11      the  salary  provided  for  similarly  qualified  teachers in public
    12      schools in the region in which such eligible school is located.  The
    13      allocation  to  each  qualifying school shall be calculated based on
    14      the number of weighted full time equivalent (FTE) staff, as  defined
    15      herein,  in  the  per FTE award amount. The total number of weighted
    16      FTE shall be determined by multiplying  the  actual  number  of  FTE
    17      teachers  providing  classroom instruction at each school, as deter-
    18      mined by the commissioner, by: 1) a factor of 2.0 for those  schools
    19      where  average  salaries  that  are  50  percent or less of those in
    20      public school located in the same geographic region; 2) a factor  of
    21      1.5 for those schools where average salaries that are 50 percent and
    22      75  percent of public schools located in the same geographic region;
    23      or 3) a factor of 1.0 for those schools where the  average  salaries
    24      that  are  75-100  percent  of  public  schools  located in the same
    25      geographic region. The per FTE teacher award amount shall be  calcu-
    26      lated by dividing the $2,000,000 by the total number of weighted FTE
    27      staff;  (ii)  $2,000,000  shall be available for payments to schools
    28      providing special services or programs as defined in  paragraphs  e,
    29      g,  i,  and  l of subdivision 2 of section 4401 of the education law
    30      and approved preschool programs in accordance with section  4410  of

    32      turnover through a targeted adjustment of compensation for  teachers
    33      providing direct instructional services to students at such schools.
    34      The  commissioner  of  education  shall  develop an allocation plan,
    35      subject to the approval of the director of the budget, that distrib-
    36      utes funds appropriated herein among eligible schools; (iii)  up  to
    37      $10,000,000  shall  be  available  for costs associated with schools
    38      operated under article 85 of the education law which otherwise would
    39      be payable through the department's general fund aid  to  localities

    44      with  schools  operated  under article 85 of the education law by an
    45      equivalent amount, and the portion of such  general  fund  appropri-
    46      ation  so  affected shall have no further force or effect.  Notwith-

    48      ated herein shall be available for payment of liabilities heretofore
    49      accrued  or  hereafter to accrue and, subject to the approval of the

     8    accordance with the  requirements  of  the

    11  Notwithstanding any  inconsistent  provision
    12    of  law,  including section 1 of part C of
    13    chapter 57 of the laws of 2006, as amended

    27    allocation, hereinafter referred to as the
    28    district's    block    grant   allocation.
    29    Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of
    30    law,  such block grant allocation shall be
    31    based, in part, on each district's  claims
    32    for such costs, adjusted by the applicable
    33    cost allocation methodology and net of any
    34    retroactive  payments  for  the  12  month
    35    period  ending  June  30,  2016  that  are
    36    submitted  on  or  before  January 3, 2017

    42    appropriated  herein  not  claimed by such
    43    district during the state fiscal year  may
    44    be  used by such district for expenditures

     1    the  amount  remaining from the district's
     2    foster  care   block   grant   allocation,
     3    provided however, that any claims for such
     4    services during the next state fiscal year
     5    in  excess of such amount shall be subject
     6    to 62 percent state  reimbursement  exclu-
     7    sive  of  any federal funds made available
     8    for  such  purposes,  in  accordance  with
     9    directives  of  the  department  of family
    10    assistance and subject to the approval  of
    11    the  director  of  the  budget. Any claims
    12    submitted by a  social  services  district
    13    for  reimbursement  for a particular state
    14    fiscal year for which the social  services
    15    district does not receive state or federal
    16    reimbursement  during  that  state  fiscal
    17    year  may  not  be  claimed  against  that
    18    district's  block  grant apportionment for
    19    the next state fiscal year.
    20  The office of children and family  services,
    21    with  the  approval of the director of the
    22    budget,  may  reduce  a  district's  block
    23    grant   allocation   by  the  state  share
    24    decrease related  to  federal  retroactive
    25    reimbursement   for   such   foster   care
    26    services identified  herein.  The  office,
    27    with  the  approval of the director of the
    28    budget,  may  reduce  a  district's  block
    29    grant  allocation  by  the  state share of
    30    disallowances or sanctions  taken  against
    31    the   district   pursuant  to  the  social
    32    services law or federal law.
    33  Notwithstanding any other provision of  law,
    34    the  state  shall  not  be responsible for
    35    reimbursing a social services district and
    36    a district shall not seek state reimburse-
    37    ment for any portion of any  state  disal-
    38    lowance  or  sanction  taken  against  the
    39    social services district, or  any  federal
    40    disallowance attributable to final federal
    41    agency decisions or to settlement made, on
    42    or after July 1, 1995, when such disallow-
    43    ance  or sanction results from the failure
    44    of the social services district to  comply
    45    with   federal   or   state  requirements,
    46    including, but not limited to, failure  to
    47    document  eligibility for federal or state
    48    funds in the case record; provided, howev-
    49    er, if  the  office  determines  that  any
    50    federal disallowance for services provided
    51    between  January  1, 1999 and May 31, 1999

     1    results solely from the late enactment  of
     2    the  state  legislation  implementing  the
     3    federal adoption and  safe  families  act,
     4    the  state shall be solely responsible for
     5    the full amount  of  the  disallowance  or
     6    sanction; provided, further, however, this
     7    provision  shall  be  deemed to apply both
     8    prospectively and retroactively regardless
     9    of whether such sanctions or disallowances
    10    are for services provided or  claims  made
    11    prior to or after April 1, 2017.
    12  Notwithstanding  any other provision of law,
    13    any federal disallowance resulting from  a
    14    federal  title  IV-E eligibility review or
    15    audit  that  uses  extrapolated  statistic
    16    techniques  shall  be  passed along by the
    17    state  to  any  and  all  social  services
    18    districts  that the office of children and
    19    family services has  determined  have  not
    20    complied  with  the title IV-E eligibility
    21    requirements or have not taken the  neces-
    22    sary  actions  to  ensure  compliance with
    23    such  requirements  including,   but   not
    24    limited  to,  failing to: assess and fully
    25    document all the criteria and have readily
    26    available all the necessary  documents  to
    27    establish  and  continue title IV-E eligi-
    28    bility for all title IV-E  eligible  chil-
    29    dren  within  the  required  time  frames;
    30    claim title IV-E funding  only  for  cases
    31    that  meet all of the title IV-E eligibil-
    32    ity  criteria;  and  fully  implement  the
    33    social   services  payment  system  on  or
    34    before April 1, 2005 for  all  direct  and
    35    voluntary agency foster care services.
    36  Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the
    37    office  of  children  and  family services
    38    shall impose on social services  districts
    39    any  federal  disallowance  issued against
    40    the state as a result of a  federal  title
    41    IV-E  secondary eligibility review regard-
    42    less of the date  the  children  may  have
    43    entered  foster  care, the date the eligi-
    44    bility or payment errors occurred, or  the
    45    filing  date  of  any  federal  claims for
    46    reimbursement; provided, however, that the
    47    state shall be responsible for the  disal-
    48    lowed  costs  and  expenditures related to
    49    the placement of children  in  a  facility
    50    operated  by  the  office  of children and

     1    in the same manner as the disallowed costs
     2    and  expenditures  for   social   services
     3    districts other than the city of New York.
     4    In  order to reimburse the federal govern-
     5    ment for the full amount of any  disallow-
     6    ance  imposed  on the state by the federal
     7    administration for children  and  families
     8    within  the  timeframes necessary to avoid
     9    any potential interest  payments  on  such
    10    amount,  the office of children and family
    11    services  is  authorized  to   immediately
    12    offset   funds   otherwise   due  to  each
    13    district for a pro rata share of the total
    14    disallowed costs based on  the  percentage
    15    of  applicable  federal  title IV-E claims
    16    made by that  district  for  the  relevant
    17    time  period  as  compared  to  the  total
    18    applicable statewide  title  IV-E  claims.
    19    The  amount  of  the  offset  against each
    20    district will be adjusted,  if  necessary,
    21    upon  completion of the disallowance allo-
    22    cation process. The  final  allocation  of
    23    the  amount  of  any  federal disallowance
    24    resulting  from  a  title  IV-E  secondary
    25    eligibility   review  shall  be  allocated
    26    among the districts so that each  district
    27    shall   be   responsible  for  the  amount
    28    attributable to  each  of  the  district's
    29    children  or  cases that are determined by
    30    the federal review to be unallowable. Each
    31    district shall also be responsible  for  a
    32    portion of the federal extrapolated disal-
    33    lowance amount based on the relative error
    34    rate  for  the  district.  The city of New
    35    York's error rate will  be  based  on  the
    36    federal sample and federal statistics. For
    37    all  social  services districts other than
    38    the city of New York, the error rate  will
    39    be  based  on  a  review  conducted by the
    40    district of a sample  of  children  and/or
    41    cases determined by the office of children
    42    and  family  services and a re-review of a
    43    sub-sample by the office of those children
    44    and/or cases determined by the office. The
    45    office of  children  and  family  services
    46    will   determine  what  is  reasonable  in
    47    establishing the size of  the  sample  and
    48    sub-sample  for  each district. The office
    49    of  children  and  family  services  shall
    50    notify  each  social  services district of
    51    the sample of children and/or  cases  from
 
                                           375                        12553-02-7

     1    the  federal  audit period that the social
     2    services district must review.  Any  child
     3    or  case from the social services district
     4    that  was  included  in the federal sample
     5    will  automatically  be  included  in  the
     6    social  services  district's review sample
     7    and the determination made at the  federal
     8    review  regarding  that child or case will
     9    govern for  the  purposes  of  the  social
    10    services  district's  review.  The  social
    11    services district must complete and submit
    12    the results of its review to the office of
    13    children and  family  services  within  60
    14    days  of  receipt of the sample. The error
    15    rate for the district will be based on the
    16    findings of the district's review and  the
    17    office  of  children  and family services'
    18    re-review. If a social  services  district
    19    does  not  complete  its  review within 60
    20    days of  receiving  the  sample  from  the
    21    office  of  children  and family services,
    22    the office of children and family services
    23    shall assign an error rate to  the  social
    24    services  district  based  on the relative
    25    percentage of  the  district's  applicable
    26    title  IV-E claims for the relevant period
    27    as compared to applicable statewide  title
    28    IV-E  claims  for  that  period  and other
    29    circumstances that the office of  children
    30    and  family services may consider in order
    31    to allocate 100  percent  of  the  federal
    32    disallowance.  The  office of children and
    33    family services shall  apply  each  social
    34    services  district's  error  rate  to  the
    35    total amount of the district's  applicable
    36    title  IV-E  claims  including  associated
    37    administrative  expenses.  The   resulting
    38    dollar  amounts  for  all  of  the  social
    39    services  districts  will  be  summed   to
    40    derive  the  total  amount  of  title IV-E
    41    claims deemed to be in error statewide. To
    42    establish a  disallowance  percentage  for
    43    each  social services district, the amount
    44    of the district's title IV-E claims deemed
    45    to be in error  will  be  divided  by  the
    46    amount  of  statewide  title  IV-E  claims
    47    deemed  to  be  in  error.  The  resulting
    48    disallowance  percentage for each district
    49    will be applied to the entire  title  IV-E
    50    extrapolated  disallowance  calculated  by
    51    the federal review to determine the amount
 
                                           376                        12553-02-7

     2      determined  by the office of children and family services.  Notwith-

     4      opment  program  shall mean a program designed to provide community-
     5      level  services  to promote positive youth development but shall not
     6      include approved runaway programs or transitional independent living
     7      support programs as such terms are defined in section 532-a  of  the
     8      executive  law.  Each  county  or  a  city  with a population of one
     9      million or more, which shall be known as a municipality, operating a
    10      youth development program approved by the  office  of  children  and
    11      family  services  shall  be  eligible  for one hundred percent state
    12      reimbursement of its qualified expenditures, subject to  the  amount
    13      available  under  this  appropriation  and  exclusive of any federal
    14      funds made available therefor,  not  to  exceed  the  municipality's
    15      distribution of state aid for youth development programs. The amount
    16      appropriated herein for youth development programs shall be distrib-
    17      uted by the office of children and family services to eligible muni-
    18      cipalities that have a comprehensive plan that has been developed in
    19      consultation with the applicable municipal youth bureau and approved
    20      by  the  office of children and family services. The distribution of
    21      the amount appropriated herein to  eligible  municipalities  by  the
    22      office  of children and family services shall be based on factors as
    23      determined by the office and subject to the approval of the director
    24      of budget; such factors shall include the number of youth under  the
    25      age  of twenty-one residing in the municipality as shown by the last
    26      published federal census certified in the same manner as provided by
    27      section fifty-four of the state finance law and may include, but not
    28      be limited to, the percentage of youth living in poverty within  the
    29      municipality  or  such  other  factors  as provided for in the regu-
    30      lations of the office of children and family services. Up to fifteen
    31      percent of the youth development funds  that  a  municipality  would
    32      allocate  to  an approved local youth bureau pursuant to an approved
    33      comprehensive  plan  may  be  used  for   administrative   functions
    34      performed  by such local youth bureau. Notwithstanding any provision
    35      of law to the contrary, an approved local youth bureau that  is  not
    36      providing,  operating, administering or monitoring youth development
    37      programs shall not receive funding under this  appropriation.    The
    38      office shall not reimburse any claims for youth development programs
    39      unless they are submitted within twelve months of the calendar quar-
    40      ter  in  which the expenditure was made. The office may require that
    41      such claims be submitted to the office electronically in the  manner
    42      and  format  required  by  the office. A municipality may enter into
    43      contracts to effectuate its youth development program as approved by
    44      the office of children and family services. No expenditures shall be
    45      made from this appropriation for youth development programs until  a
    46      plan  has  been approved by the director of the budget and a certif-
    47      icate of approval allocating these funds  has  been  issued  by  the
