Bill > A07096

This bill amends Section 912 of the education law to clarify the process for providing health and welfare services to children attending non-public schools outside their home school district. Currently, school districts are required to provide health services to resident children attending non-public schools, such as medical screenings, dental care, and emergency health programs. The key change is that when a student from one school district attends a non-public school in another district, the district of residence must contract with the district where the school is located to provide health services. The bill adds a new provision specifying that the cost of these health services to the non-resident district cannot exceed the cost paid by the student's home district. This means that the school district hosting the non-public school cannot charge more for health services than what the student's home district would typically pay. The bill aims to ensure fair and consistent pricing for health services when students attend schools outside their home district. The amendment will take effect on the first of September following its passage into law.
