STATE
BUDGET
UPDATE
|
SENATE AND ASSEMBLY TO RETURN TO ALBANY-AGENDA IS
MURKY AT BEST
Both Houses of the Legislature are set to
return to Albany on the 20th of this month but the agenda for the
special session is not yet clear. While no three way agreement on either the
state budget or on CFE driven education reform has been reached, Senator
Bruno has advised his members to be ready to remain in town the entire week,
ostensibly to be prepared to act if such agreements are reached. As has
become apparent, once the July 30th deadline is passed and a
Special master(s) has (have) been appointed in the CFE case, the likelihood
of settling the state budget and reaching an early agreement on education
reform will lessen considerably. In that event the need for other poorer
districts throughout the state to consider their own litigation modeled on
CFE will intensify. In May, Utica CSD’s board voted to commence its own
lawsuit. In response to that decision, about 16 other small city school
districts notified the Association of their interest in joining Utica in the
litigation. Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo have also expressed a similar
interest.

| ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING |
BOARD OF DIRECTORS BEGIN PLANNING FOR POSSIBLE
EDUCATION LAWSUIT
On July 2nd the Association’s
Board of Directors met to discuss the numerous issues facing small city
schools in the coming months. The principal issue which occupied much of the
Board’s time and attention was the failure of the Governor and Legislature
to approve a state budget and enact state court ordered education reform.
The Association’s reform proposal, Funding For Achievement, has made it
starkly clear that the problems facing the NYC educational system are also
found in the small cities and in the Big Four cities. Failure of the State
to resolve the 2004-05 budget standoff and to enact comprehensive, statewide
education reform, may leave these city districts with no choice other than
to pursue separate litigation. Utica CSD’s board has already anticipated
this failure and begun the process of instituting suit. The Board asked
Association counsel to draft a litigation summary outlining the steps that
would necessarily be involved and the projected costs. This summary,
together with a list of questions that participating districts would be
expected to answer in building the case, will be prepared next week and made
available to interested districts. In addition, the Board will be discussing
possible litigation at the Summer Conference during the next Board meeting,
which is open to all members, scheduled for Sunday, August 8th,
at the Ramada Inn in Geneva, NY.
