SPONSOR: GALLIVAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 396 of the laws of 2012, amending the education
law relating to services to out-of-state school districts by boards of
cooperative educational services, in relation to making the provisions
thereof permanent
 
PURPOSE:
This legislation makes permanent the ability of Boards of Cooperative
Educational Services (BOCES) to sell programs and services to out-of-
state school districts.
 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section one of the bill removes the repeal date to make permanent the
provisions established pursuant to Chapter 396 of the laws of 2012.
Section two establishes the effective date.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
BOCES are innovators in the development and delivery of highly success-
ful curricula. By removing the sunset date that authorizes BOCES to
enter into contracts with out-of-state school districts, we are provid-
ing BOCES the opportunity to continue to generate additional revenue,
which ultimately benefits their component school districts and the
students they serve.
