   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 it an
 essential goal to ensure that all New York students receive a high-qual-
 ity education. The legislature  supports  the  goals  of  the  board  of
 regents  in  developing a rich educational system that provides multiple
 pathways to graduation, so that all  students  are  college  and  career
 ready.  The  legislature  also recognizes that ensuring our students are
 fully prepared to compete in the global marketplace requires  a  signif-
 icant investment of time and resources. As such, it is vitally important
 to  invest  wisely in the development and administration of high-quality
 assessments that not only measure the  progress  of  students  attaining
 such  standards,  but also enhance the overall goal of student learning.
 However, the financial investments associated with the  development  and
 administration  of  high-quality assessments are not yet fully measured,
 and have the potential to be  significant.  Therefore,  the  legislature
 determines  that  the costs associated with the development, implementa-
 tion, and administration of high-quality assessments shall not be  borne
 by  local  taxpayers,  and  shall instead be fully funded with financial
 support from the state.
   § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 756 to  read
 as follows:
   § 756. COMPUTER-BASED ASSESSMENT TECHNOLOGY APPORTIONMENT. 1. IN ADDI-
 TION  TO  ANY  OTHER  APPORTIONMENTS UNDER THIS CHAPTER, FOR AID PAYABLE
 BEGINNING IN THE TWO THOUSAND  EIGHTEEN--TWO  THOUSAND  NINETEEN  SCHOOL
 YEAR,  A  SCHOOL  DISTRICT AND BOARD OF COOPERATIVE EDUCATIONAL SERVICES
 SHALL BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN APPORTIONMENT  UNDER  THE  PROVISIONS  OF  THIS
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
