Bill > S01431

This bill grants a specific financial waiver of $52,000 to Adirondack Helping Hands, an organization that provides educational services, for the 2016-2017 school year. The waiver is specifically designated for costs associated with "special class in an integrated setting," which is defined as a classroom where students with intellectual and developmental disabilities learn alongside students without such disabilities. Under the terms of the bill, Adirondack Helping Hands must reduce its recognized surplus for the school year by $52,000, with a final surplus of $16,000 still subject to reconciliation. The bill requires the commissioner of education to calculate and finalize the rate reconciliation and submit it to the director of the budget for approval. Additionally, the bill stipulates that no additional penalties will be levied against Adirondack Helping Hands in subsequent school years related to this waiver, and the act will take effect immediately upon passage.
