Bill > A07093

This bill amends the New York State education law to modify the supplemental educational improvement plan grant for the Yonkers city school district by adjusting the annual grant calculation. Specifically, the bill changes the existing $17.5 million grant to be multiplied by the district's regional cost index, which is a measure that accounts for the varying costs of education across different geographic areas. The regional cost index, referenced in another section of education law, helps to ensure that school districts in areas with higher living and operational expenses receive proportionally adjusted funding. By incorporating this index, the bill aims to provide more equitable funding that reflects the actual costs of running a school district in the Yonkers area. The grant will continue to be payable from appropriated funds and apportioned according to existing payment schedules, and the amendment takes effect immediately upon passage.
