Paragraph b of subdivision 10 of section 3602 of the education 20 law, as amended by section 16 of part B of chapter 57 of the laws of 21 2007, is amended to read as follows: 22 b. Aid for career education. There shall be apportioned to such city 23 school districts and other school districts which were not components of 24 a board of cooperative educational services in the base year for pupils 25 in grades ten through twelve in attendance in career education programs 26 as such programs are defined by the commissioner, subject for the 27 purposes of this paragraph to the approval of the director of the budg- 28 et, an amount for each such pupil to be computed by multiplying the 29 career education aid ratio by [three thousand nine hundred dollars] the 30 district's selected foundation aid as determined pursuant to subdivision 31 four of this section. Such aid will be payable for weighted pupils 32 attending career education programs operated by the school district and 33 for weighted pupils for whom such school district contracts with boards 34 of cooperative educational services to attend career education programs 35 operated by a board of cooperative educational services. Weighted pupils 36 for the purposes of this paragraph shall mean the sum of the attendance 37 of students in grades ten through twelve in career education sequences 38 in trade, industrial, technical, agricultural or health programs plus 39 the product of sixteen hundredths multiplied by the attendance of 40 students in grades ten through twelve in career education sequences in 41 business and marketing as defined by the commissioner in regulations. 42 The career education aid ratio shall be computed by subtracting from one 43 the product obtained by multiplying fifty-nine percent by the combined 44 wealth ratio. This aid ratio shall be expressed as a decimal carried to 45 three places without rounding, but not less than thirty-six percent. 46 Any school district that receives aid pursuant to this paragraph shall 47 be required to use such amount to support career education programs in 48 the current year. 49 A board of education which spends less than its local funds as defined 50 by regulations of the commissioner for career education in the base year 51 during the current year shall have its apportionment under this subdivi- 52 sion reduced in an amount equal to such deficiency in the current or a 53 succeeding school year, provided however that the commissioner may waive 54 such reduction upon determination that overall expenditures per pupil in 55 support of career education programs were continued at a level equal toS. 3919 3 1 or greater than the level of such overall expenditures per pupil in the 2 preceding school year. 3 § 3. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to the 4 calculation of BOCES aid and aid for career education payable in the 5 2018-2019 school year and years thereafter.
