Bill > S03303

This bill amends the Education Law to require compliance with the Uniform Land Use Review Procedure (ULURP) for the disposition of school property in New York City. Specifically, the bill mandates that prior to any sale, lease, or other disposition of school property, there must be full compliance with the ULURP process outlined in the New York City Charter. This ensures that the community is involved in decisions regarding the use of school properties. The bill also clarifies that the provisions of the Education Law do not supersede the requirements for parental involvement and the powers of the community district education council regarding significant changes in school utilization, including the temporary relocation of students due to the transfer of an existing school site to a developer for the construction of a combined occupancy structure.
