Bill > S03594

This bill amends the New York State Education Law to remove the funding cap specifically for teacher resource and computer training centers in the New York City school district. Currently, the law limits funding for such centers to two million dollars per center statewide, with a specific sixteen million eight hundred thousand dollar cap for New York City. The proposed change eliminates this cap for New York City, allowing the city's school district to potentially receive more funding for these centers. These centers are educational support facilities designed to provide resources, training, and technological assistance to teachers, helping them improve their skills and integrate computer technology into their teaching practices. The bill maintains existing provisions that ensure any statewide funding increases would be distributed proportionately among existing centers that have met current grant requirements, with a portion also made available for new applicants and regional teacher center activities. By removing the funding limitation, the bill aims to provide more flexibility and potential resources for teacher training and technology integration in New York City schools.
