2015-S4234 - Summary

Relates to legalizing, validating, ratifying and confirming a transportation contract of the Fairport central school district.

2015-S4234 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S4234

TITLE OF BILL:  An act in relation to legalizing, validating,
ratifying and confirming a transportation contract of the Fairport
central school district

PURPOSE:

This bill would provide the Fairport Central School District $253,900,
due to miscommunications and loss of contracts between the school
district and the State Education Department in the 2013-14 School
Year.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Legalizes, validates, ratifies, and confirms a
transformation contract of $253,900 in connection with a
transportation contract of the 2013-14 school year.

Section 2: Directs the Department of Education to consider the
aforementioned contract for transportation aid.

Section 3: Sets the effective date

JUSTIFICATION:

Fairport Central School District followed proper procedure in
completing transportation contracts for the 2013-14 school year.
Unfortunately, it was identified that this contract was not recorded
at the State level and because of many transitions of staff at the
district level, SED approvals were not tracked and the District has
lost $253,900 in funding for 2013-14.

On September 8, 2014 the interim Assistant Superintendent for Business
submitted the copies of the completed contracts which were found in
their files signed by the acting superintendent. They believe that the
contracts were sent in a timely fashion, however due to the many
transitions at the time the district was unaware that there was no
record of SED receiving the contracts in the summer of 2013.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
