15 b. Aid for career education. There shall be apportioned to such city
16 school districts and other school districts which were not components of
17 a board of cooperative educational services in the base year for pupils
18 in grades ten through twelve in attendance in career education programs
19 as such programs are defined by the commissioner, subject for the
20 purposes of this paragraph to the approval of the director of the budg-
21 et, an amount for each such pupil to be computed by multiplying the
22 career education aid ratio by [three thousand nine hundred dollars] THE
23 DISTRICT'S SELECTED FOUNDATION AID AS DETERMINED PURSUANT TO SUBDIVISION
24 FOUR OF THIS SECTION. Such aid will be payable for weighted pupils
25 attending career education programs operated by the school district and
26 for weighted pupils for whom such school district contracts with boards
27 of cooperative educational services to attend career education programs
28 operated by a board of cooperative educational services. Weighted pupils
29 for the purposes of this paragraph shall mean the sum of the attendance
30 of students in grades ten through twelve in career education sequences
31 in trade, industrial, technical, agricultural or health programs plus
32 the product of sixteen hundredths multiplied by the attendance of
33 students in grades ten through twelve in career education sequences in
34 business and marketing as defined by the commissioner in regulations.
35 The career education aid ratio shall be computed by subtracting from one
36 the product obtained by multiplying fifty-nine percent by the combined
37 wealth ratio. This aid ratio shall be expressed as a decimal carried to
38 three places without rounding, but not less than thirty-six percent.
39 Any school district that receives aid pursuant to this paragraph shall
40 be required to use such amount to support career education programs in
41 the current year.
42 A board of education which spends less than its local funds as defined
43 by regulations of the commissioner for career education in the base year
44 during the current year shall have its apportionment under this subdivi-
45 sion reduced in an amount equal to such deficiency in the current or a
46 succeeding school year, provided however that the commissioner may waive
47 such reduction upon determination that overall expenditures per pupil in
48 support of career education programs were continued at a level equal to
49 or greater than the level of such overall expenditures per pupil in the
50 preceding school year.
51 S 3. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to the
52 calculation of BOCES aid and aid for career education payable in the
53 2015-16 school year and years thereafter.
