This bill amends school funding rules to require school districts to pay charter schools directly for federal and state aid tied to students with disabilities. It specifies payments must be proportional to the services the charter school provides for these students, with reductions only allowed through charter agreements. Payments will be made quarterly, aligned with when districts receive state aid, and for new charters, initial payments use enrollment projections that are adjusted based on actual data after the first year. The law directly affects school districts and charter schools operating in New York, ensuring funding matches the level of disability services provided.
Provides the same adjustment for capital apportionment to high need school districts bordering the city of New York as used by school districts of the city of New York.
This bill sets an annual growth rate for tuition and reimbursement payments to schools and programs serving students with disabilities. It directly affects private schools, special act school districts, and approved preschool programs providing special education services for school-age and preschool children with disabilities. The key provision ties future rate increases to the difference between current and base-year public school funding levels, but ensures rates never decrease (the growth rate is the greater of this difference or zero). This creates a predictable, inflation-linked funding mechanism for these specialized education programs.
This bill amends tax laws to exclude payments in lieu of property taxes from renewable energy systems (like solar, wind, and battery storage) from school district and local government tax levies. It specifically removes these energy-related payments from calculations used to determine funding levels for schools and local services. The change directly affects school districts and municipalities that rely on tax levy formulas, ensuring renewable energy projects don't reduce their available funding.
