  Department) -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education

AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the  establishment  of
  regional secondary schools

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

  Section 1.  Legislative  intent.  The  legislature  hereby  finds  and
declares  that  given  the  current  fiscal  climate in this state, many
school districts, particularly small, rural districts, are threatened by
a decline in educational opportunities and programs for their  students.
School  districts  are  seeking  new  models  of  delivering services to
students that are more cost-effective and efficient, in order to sustain
or enhance the quality of services and to maintain or expand  the  scope
of  services  offered  to students. The legislature recognizes that many
high schools in the state are experiencing  financial  limitations  that
may  impair their ability to offer students the same range or quality of
courses that other high schools may provide. In  order  to  ensure  that
these  districts  continue to offer their students advanced course work,
districts should be afforded the opportunity  to  establish  a  regional
secondary school. Under this new model of delivering services, districts
will  be  able  to streamline programs and services, increase resources,
and increase their  purchasing  power  through  shared  services.  These
resultant  cost  savings  will  allow  money  to  flow  into educational
programs and services for students which will, in turn, help to  improve
student performance and meet college and career readiness.
  S 2. The education law is amended by adding a new article 39-A to read
as follows:
                              ARTICLE 39-A
                       REGIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOLS
SECTION 1920. ESTABLISHMENT OF A REGIONAL SECONDARY SCHOOL OPERATED BY A
                BOARD OF EDUCATION.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                           LBD08206-01-3
