AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the election districts
  in the city of Lockport school district

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

  Section  1.  Section  2604 of the education law, as amended by chapter
741 of the laws of 1954, is amended to read as follows:
  S 2604. Division  of  city  school  district  into   school   election
districts;  elections  held in schoolhouses.   The board of education of
each city school district shall adopt a  resolution  on  or  before  the
first  day  of  April,  preceding  the first annual school election held
hereunder, dividing  the  city  school  district  into  school  election
districts.  The city school district shall be so divided that if circum-
stances  will permit, school election districts will be coterminous with
one or more general election districts, and that, if practicable,  there
shall  be  a  schoolhouse  in  each  election  district.    The election
districts thus formed shall continue  in  existence  until  modified  by
resolution  of the board of education.  Such resolution shall accurately
describe the boundaries of such election districts  by  streets,  alleys
and  highways, when practicable.  School elections shall be held in such
school election districts so far  as  may  be  possible  in  the  public
schoolhouses  therein.    If  there is no public schoolhouse in a school
election district, the board of education shall by resolution  designate
the  place  where  the election in such district shall be held. Notwith-
standing the foregoing provisions of this section, the board  of  educa-
tion of THE LOCKPORT CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OR any city school district of
a  city of less than ten thousand inhabitants may, by resolution, desig-
nate the entire city school district as a single school district.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

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