AN ACT in relation to directing the commissioner of education to  estab-
  lish  apportionment  methods for certain school districts with respect
  to students with disabilities

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Legislative findings. The legislature finds that students
with disabilities often need special accommodations in order to  achieve
the  highest  standards  of  learning.  These special accommodations are
often associated with high costs. The  legislature  further  finds  that
when  a  student  with  a  disability transfers to a new school district
within the same school year, the new school district is without  funding
for such student until the beginning of the next school year.
  The  legislature  therefore  finds  that it is necessary to direct the
commissioner of education to  establish  a  method  by  which  a  school
district may receive necessary aid for students with disabilities at any
time, throughout the school year, as may be appropriate.
  S  2.  The commissioner of education is hereby directed to establish a
method for apportioning school aid for students with disabilities at any
time, throughout the school year, as may be appropriate.
  S 3. The commissioner of education shall establish a special  fund  to
be  used  solely  for  the  purpose  of  supplying interim aid to school
districts that are attended by students with  disabilities,  where  such
student  or students were not accounted for in the initial apportionment
to such school district at the beginning of the school year.
  S 4. The commissioner of education shall apportion monies for students
with disabilities on a quarterly basis, and to allow for the  apportion-
ment  to  follow  the  student  from  school district to school district
throughout the school year.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
