Adjusts the regional labor force cost index for the Hudson Valley region
This bill adjusts the regional labor force cost index used to calculate school funding for the Hudson Valley region. Starting in the 2026-2027 school year, the Hudson Valley index increases from 1.314 to 1.425 (up from the previous 1.314 for 2025-2026), while other regions' indices remain unchanged. This change directly affects how state education funding is distributed to school districts in the Hudson Valley, increasing their base funding allocation. The adjustment applies to all subsequent school years after 2026-2027, aligning with the state's formula for regional cost differences.
