SUMMARY
Issue for Decision (Consent Agenda)
Should the Regents accept the staff recommendation to register the public elementary, intermediate, middle, junior high schools and high schools listed in the attached table?
Reason(s) for Consideration
Required by Commissioner’s Regulations Section 100.2(p).
Proposed Handling
The question will come before the EMSC-VESID Committee for action in October.
Procedural History
Beginning in July 2003, the Regents have annually approved the registration of new public schools at their July meeting. There were two schools that sent in their petitions late that we are asking the Regents to approve at the October meeting.
Background Information
Commissioner’s Regulations require districts that seek to register a public elementary, intermediate, middle, junior high or high school to submit a petition to the Board of Regents. Commissioner’s Regulations require petitions for schools opening the following school year to be submitted by June 15; however, the Commissioner may waive this timeline for good cause. This year the Department received submissions after June 15 from the Dolgeville Central School District for the Dolgeville Middle School and the Beaver River Central School for the Beaver River Central School. Based upon the district submitting a petition and supporting materials certifying the district’s commitment to operate a school in compliance with applicable statutes, rules, and regulations relating to public schools and in compliance with applicable building codes, the Commissioner recommends that the schools listed on Attachment A be registered effective with the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year.
Recommendation
Voted: That the schools on the attached table be registered.
Timetable for Implementation
Schools listed in Attachment A will be registered effective immediately.
