Bill > S08273

This bill modifies the legal framework for the Greenburgh North Castle Union Free School District number 12, primarily focusing on two key changes. First, the bill expands the district's authorized property locations to include additional sites in Westchester, Bronx, and Dutchess counties, including properties owned or leased by Rising Ground, Inc., with the specific property at 623 Blooming Grove Turnpike set to be discontinued by June 30, 2025. Second, the bill authorizes the school district to affiliate with Rising Ground, Inc., a child care institution, allowing the school board to be comprised of five to nine members, with most members elected by Rising Ground's board of directors and two being public members. The affiliation will enable the district to govern educational responsibilities for students placed in the affiliated child care institution under Article 81 of the education law. This legislation replaces a previous provision that only allowed affiliation with specific institutions and provides more flexibility for the school district in managing its operations and educational services.
