Introduced  by  Sens.  MONTGOMERY, DILAN, HASSELL-THOMPSON -- read twice
  and ordered printed, and when printed to be committed to the Committee
  on Education

AN ACT to amend the education law and the state finance law, in relation
  to establishing a temporary  emergency  educational  fund  to  provide
  assistance  to  underfunded  school  districts;  and providing for the
  repeal of such provisions upon the expiration thereof

  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 that
decades of experience have shown that the state's current school funding
system has consistently underfunded hundreds of  public  schools  across
the  state.  Currently the state is involved in a school finance lawsuit
(CAMPAIGN FOR FISCAL EQUITY, ET AL. V. THE STATE OF NEW YORK, ET AL.) in
which the  constitutionality,  sufficiency  and  social  impact  of  the
state's school funding system are at issue. Unfortunately, it could take
years  before  the case is ultimately resolved.  Meanwhile, time marches
on and millions of schoolchildren  continue  to  attend  public  schools
which  lack the resources needed to prepare them for productive citizen-
ship in the twenty-first century. These children, caught  between  legal
and  political  crossfire,  are  being denied the monetary, educational,
psychological and social resources  they  desperately  need,  and  as  a
result are being irreparably harmed.
  The  legislature  declares that this act addresses the need to protect
students from the potentially irreparable harm they are exposed  to  due
to a severe lack of educational resources in public schools.  According-
ly, this act seeks to provide emergency funding for critical educational
resources  to  benefit  the  millions  of children who cannot wait until
protracted legal disputes are resolved before receiving the  tools  they
need in order to meet resource-driven academic standards.
