11. KIPP: Tech Valley Charter School is a tuition-free, open enrollment
college preparatory public middle school
located at 1 Dudley Heights in Albany, New
12. Petitioner Charter Schools are authorized by the Regents of the
State of New York to conduct operations as
charter schools pursuant to Article 56 of the
N.Y. Education Law.
13. The City School District of Albany ("ACSD") is located in Albany,
New York. The ACSD serves approximately 8,400 students in 15 schools, including 11
elementary schools, two middle schools, one prekindergarten-grade 8 school, one
comprehensive high school and a number of alternative education programs. The
administrative offices for the ACSD are located at Academy Park, Albany, New York.
14. Students who attend the Charter Schools reside in the ACSD as
well as surrounding school districts.
15. Pursuant to New York Education Law § 2856, the school district
where charter school students reside is responsible for paying the charter school the
charter school basic tuition rate for those students. Education Law § 2856 states: "The
school district of residence shall pay directly to the charter school for each student
enrolled in the charter school who resides in the school district the charter school basic
16. In accordance with Education Law § 2856, the petitioner Charter
Schools each submit a report to the ACSD containing, for those students who attend
each respective charter school and reside in the ACSD, "enrollment, attendance,
membership and, if applicable, count of students with disabilities."
17. On a bi-monthly basis each Charter School submits an invoice to
ACSD accompanied by a spreadsheet containing the required data for students living in
the ACSD.
18. ACSD has a duty imposed upon it by law to remit tuition payments
directly to the Charter Schools at the charter school basic tuition rate for those charter
school students who reside in the ACSD. See 8 NYCRR §119.1(d)(2).
19. In accordance with 8 NYCRR §119.1 (d)(2)
, these payments must
be made no later than the first business day of July, September, November, January,
March and May of the current academic year.
20. The charter school basic tuition rate is generated by a formula set
forth in Education Law § 2856 and calculated annually by the Commissioner of
21. For the 2010-2011 academic year the charter school basic tuition
rate per pupil equals the product of the school district's 2008-09 operating expense per
pupil (AOErr APU) multiplied by the percentage increase between the 2009-10
statewide total approved operating expense and the 2007-08 statewide total approved
22. On or about February 15, 2010 the New York State Education
Department ("NYSED") issued a directive titled: "Final 2009-2010 and Preliminary 201011 Basic Tuition to be used by Public School Districts with resident students attending
Charter Schools." Attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is a copy of this directive.
23. This directive indicated that for the 2010-2011 academic year the
preliminary basic tuition rate for Charter School students who reside in the ACSD is
$14,072 per student.
24. Subsequently, in September 2010, NYSED issued a further
directive stating that the 2010-2011 charter school basic tuition rate of $14,072 was
finaL. Attached hereto as Exhibit "B" is a copy of this directive.
25. Most recently, on or about April 25, 2011, NYSED published
another directive entitled "Final 2010-11 and Final
2011-12 Basic Tuition to be used by
Public School Districts with resident students attending Charter Schools." Attached
hereto as Exhibit "c" is a copy of this directive which can be located at NYSED's
website at https:/Istateaid.nysed.gov/charter/htmLdocs/charter_1112_final.htm.
26. The September 2010 and April 2011 directives confirmed that the
preliminary and final basic tuition rate for charter school students who reside in the
ACSD was unchanged at $14,072 per student for 2010-2011.
27. Furthermore, the April 2011 directive sets forth the final charter
school basic tuition rate for the 2011-2012 academic year at $14,072 per student, the
same rate that applies for the 2010-2011 academic year.
28. The Charter Schools have a clear, legal right, to secure payment in
the amount of $14,072 per student for the 2010-2011 academic year, as well as the
2011-2011 academic year.
29. For the 2009-2010 academic year the charter school basic tuition
rate for charter school students residing in the ACSD was $11,712 per student, which is
$2,360 less than the current rate.
30. Throughout the 2009-2010 academic year the ACSD fulfilled the
duty imposed upon it by law by paying the Charter Schools $11,712 per charter school
student residing in the ACSD.
31. During the 2010-2011 academic year, however, the ACSD,
notwithstanding its knowledge that NYSED established the final basic tuition rate at
$14,072 per student, continued to pay the Charter Schools at the 2009-2010 rate of
$11,712 per student.
32. For each bi-monthly biling period during the. 201 0-2011 academic
year the ACSD paid each Charter School $393.33 less 1 per student than the amount it
is mandated to pay by both statute and regulation.
33. At the time the ACSD remits payment to the Charter Schools, it
issues a billng summary setting forth the amount invoiced by each Charter School and
the amount paid by the ACSD per student.
i At $14,072 per student, each bi-monthly payment per student is $2,345.33. At $11,712 per student,
each bi-monthly payment per student equates to be $1,952. The difference between the aforementioned amounts is $393.33 per bi-monthly billng.
34. A review of the payment summaries prepared by the ACSD clearly
ilustrate that the ACSD has paid the Charter Schools, throughout the 2010-2011
academic year, at a rate of $11,712 per student, not the statutorily and regulatory
mandated rate of $14,072 per student.
35. For example, in response to the invoices issued by the Charter
Schools in February and April 2011 which sought payment at a rate of $14,072 per
student, the ACSD in its corresponding March and May 2011 payments refused to
reimburse the Charter Schools at the statutorily mandated rate of $14,072 per student.
36. Additionally, beginning in May 2011, in response to invoices issued
by the Charter Schools, the ACSD purposefully failed to remit tuition payments to the
Charter Schools for newly enrolled students if the students were not listed on the
Charter Schools' prior invoice.
37. The ACSD advised the Charter Schools that before payment would
be remitted to the Charter Schools for any newly enrolled students, the Charter Schools
must first "forward to the District a copy of the proof of residence that you have obtained
with respect to each of these new students, in order to verify that the tuition as to these
students is owed by the District. A utilty bil showing the address of the new student's
home wil be sufficient proof of residence, provided that the student and account holder
on the utility bill share the same last name. If the student and account holder do not
share the same last name, please provide a copy of the student's Birth Certificate or
other documentation that you relied on to verify the guardianship in your determination
of the student's residence." ACSD unilaterally placed this newly imposed obligation
upon the Charter Schools without legal authorization.
38. Pursuant to Education Law § 2856(1)(b), ACSD is obligated to pay
to the Charter Schools any federal or state aid attributable
to a student with a disability
attending a charter schooL.
39. The number of students with disabilties attending the Charter
Schools is provided by the Charter Schools to the ACSD in accordance with Education
Law § 2856(1 )(a).
40. Notwithstanding its legal duty to pay the Charter Schools for
students with disabilities, the ACSD has also recently insisted that prior to remitting any
payment to the Charter Schools for special education high cost aid, the Charter Schools
must first complete certain ACSD mandated paperwork to the ACSD's satisfaction. This
paperwork, which was attached to a May 2, 2011 letter received by the Charter Schools
from ACSD's counsel, is not permitted by law and is a completely new requirement that
has been imposed, without any legal basis, upon the Charter Schools.
41. As a result of: (1) the ACSD's underpayment to the Charter Schools
attributable to paying the Charter Schools the 2009-2010 charter school basic tuition
rate, rather than the 2010-2011 charter school basic tuition rate; (2) implementing illegal
requirements for establishing student residency; and (3) implementing illegal
requirements for special education high cost aid, the Charter Schools have been
compelled to submit "Charter School Request for State Aid Intercept" (hereinafter
referred to as "Intercepts") to NYSED.
42. Before submitting an Intercept to NYSED, the Charter Schools
must wait thirty (30) days after the date of payment, which is actually sixty (60) days
after the date the invoices were originally submitted to the ACSD.
43. Once the Charter School submits the Intercept, "the commissioner
shall certify the amounts of the unpaid obligations to the comptroller to be deducted
from State aid due the school district and paid to the applicable charter schools." 8
NYCRR §119(e)(2); see also 8 NYCRR §119.1(a).
44. The Intercept process results in a substantial delay between the
time the Charter Schools are entitled to funds from the ACSD and the time the Charter
Schools may receive the funds from NYSED.
45. Although the Intercept process allows the Charter Schools to seek
payment from the State as a result of the ACSD's failure to pay the 2010-2011 charter
school basic tuition rate, the Intercept process does not result in an order or declaration compelling the ACSD to pay the Charter Schools the proper charter school basic tuition
rate. The Charter Schools are confident
that the ACSD will continue to violate its
statutory and regulatory obligations until compelled by a Court to pay the proper basic
46. Though some of the Charter Schools have submitted Intercepts to
NYSED, and some have been paid, other Charter Schools have not had any of their
previously submitted Intercepts granted.
47. The ACSD's conduct throughout the 2010-2011 academic year
illustrates, notwithstanding the Charter Schools submission of Intercepts, the ACSD's
repeated pattern and practice of underpaying the Charter Schools based upon an
outdated and inapplicable basic tuition rate.
48. The ACSD's refusal to abide by the duty imposed upon it by law, as
set forth in Education Law § 2856, has caused substantial delay in the Charter Schools
receiving payments that they have a clear legal right to, and has ultimately interfered
with the abilties of the Charter Schools to continue to provide educational services,
implement desired programs and institute optimally effective educational programs.
49. For example, funds that certain Charter Schools may have set
aside for future capital expenditures related to building renovations and replacement of
furniture, fixtures and equipment, have now been forced to be used to cover normal
50. Additionally, ACSD's failure to remit payment to the Charter
Schools at the state mandated rate has caused most of the Charter Schools to fall
behind on their lease payments for the buildings that they currently occupy. These
Charter Schools have only been able to survive because of the flexibilty of their
landlord; however, a few schools face potential eviction concerns in the coming months.
51. Further, as a result of the ACSD's failure to remit payment at the
state mandated rate, outside educational experiences at the Charter
Schools, such as
educational field trips, have drastically been reduced if not eliminated altogether, thus
depriving students -of a critical educational component.
52. The ACSD's failure to remit payment for special education high cost
aid until the Charter Schools complete certain additional paperwork provides a huge challenge to the Charter Schools to provide the mandated level of services to special
education students due to the significant cost, which creates cash flow hardship and risk
of inadequate services to those students.
53. Petitioners repeat and reallege paragraphs 1-52 of this Verified
Petition as though each paragraph was fully stated herein.
54. The ACSD's refusal to pay the Charter Schools at the $14,072 per
student basic tuition rate for the 2010-2011 academic year, despite the Charter School's
demand for such payment per student, is contrary to ACSD's statutory obligations and
constitutes a failure to perform a duty compelled upon it by law.
55. Instead, for the entirety of the 2010-2011 year the ACSD has paid
the Charter Schools at the 2009-2010 rate of $11 ,712 per student.
56. ACSD's repeated and continuing failure to pay the Charter Schools
at the correct tuition rate, despite the Charter Schools' repeated demand for payment,
demonstrates that it has no intention to pay the Charter Schools at the statutorily
mandated rate despite its clear legal obligation to do so.
57. This failure has forced the Charter Schools to resort to the Intercept
process, delaying its receipt of mandated funds for a minimum of 4 - 5 months.
58. It is evident from the ACSD's course of conduct that it will not abide
by its Education Law § 2856 obligations without an Order from this Court compelling it
to meet its statutory obligations.
59. By reason of the foregoing, the Charter Schools are entitled to an
Order pursuant to CPLR Article 78 compellng the ACSD to comply with the duties
imposed upon it be law, as set forth by Education Law § 2856, and pay the Charter
Schools at the rate of $14,072 per student for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic
years in accordance with NYSED's published charter school basic tuition rate, a
payment that the Charter Schools have a clear legal right to receive.
60. Petitioners repeat and reallege paragraphs 1-59 of this Verified
61. Starting in May 2011, the ACSD demanded that the Charter
Schools must provide the ACSD with proof of residency for each new student enrolled
at their respective schools.
62. To satisfy this requirement, the ACSD directed the Charter Schools
to provide it with a utilty bill for each student to verify residency. The ACSD also stated
that if the student and their parent do not share a last name, additional documentation
relied upon by the Charter School to verify guardianship, such as a copy of the student's
birth certificate should be provided.
63. There is no basis in law for the ACSD to compel the Charter
Schools to provide verification of residency prior to remitting payment to the Charter
64. ACSD's newly created requirement is contrary to law.
65. By reason of the foregoing, the Charter Schools are entitled to an
Order pursuant to CPLR Article 78 compellng the ACSD to comply with its obligations
pursuant to Education Law § 2856 and pay the Charter Schools for any newly enrolled students in the Charter Schools without requiring the Charter Schools to first provide
documentation beyond what is required by Education Law § 2856(1)(a) or provided for
in the NYSED Regulations.
66. Petitioners repeat and reallege paragraphs 1-65 of this Verified
67. In May 2011, the ACSD informed the Charter Schools that before it
would remit payments for special education high cost aid, the Charter Schools must first
complete a form entitled "Calculation of Public Excess Cost Aid Attributable to
Parentally-Place Nonresident and Charter School Students for the 2010-11 Academic
year" along with supporting detailed documentation.
68. Pursuant to Education Law § 2856(1)(b), ACSD is obligated to pay
to the Charter Schools any federal or state aid attributable to a student with a disability
69. The number of students with disabilties attending the Charter
Schools is provided by the Charter Schools to the
ACSD in accordance with Education
Law § 2856(1)(a).
70. The ACSD is without power to mandate that the Charter Schools
comply with its newly self-created requirement that additional paperwork be completed
for students with disabilties prior to remittance of payment.
71. In refusing to pay the Charter Schools special education high cost
aid until the Charter Schools supply a form mandated by the ACSD and nobody else,
the ACSD has acted contrary to a duty compelled upon it by law.
72. By reason of the foregoing, the Charter Schools are entitled to an
Order pursuant to CPLR Article 78 compellng the ACSD to comply with its legal
obligations set forth in Education Law § 2856 and pay the Charter Schools for special
education high cost aid without requiring the Charter Schools to complete additional
self-created documentation that is not required by law.
73. Petitioners repeat and reallege paragraphs 1-72 of this Verified
74. For the 2010-2011 academic year the Charter Schools have
invoiced the ACSD at the rate of $14,072 per student residing in the ACSD. This rate is
also the final rate for the 2011-2012 academic year.
75. The invoiced rate is established by Education Law § 2856(1)(a) and
is published in a directive by the NYSED.
76. As set forth in 1f1f 29-36, supra, the ACSD has refused, despite its
statutory and regulatory obligations, to pay the Charter Schools the 2010-2011 Charter
School basic tuition rate.
77. By reason of
the foregoing, the Charter Schools are entitled to a
declaration that the rates as invoiced by the Charter Schools in 2010-2011 ($14,072 per
student or $2,345.33 per student on each bi- monthly bil) apply for both the 2010-2011
and 2011-2012 academic years.
78. Petitioners repeat and reallege paragraphs 1-73 of this Verified
79. The ACSD is required to provide free education to students residing
in its district in accordance with Education Law § 3202.
80. There is a presumption of residency and a school district bears the
burden to prove that a student and their parents do not live within the school district and
that the student is not entitled to attend school in the district on a tuition free basis. See
Board of Educ. of Sewanaka Cent. High School Dist. v. Sobol, 213 A.D.2d 844 (3d
Dep't 1995).
81. It is the burden ofthe ACSD to demonstrate, after a review of the
names of Charter School students, their addresses, and the names of their parents, that
a student attending a Charter School does not reside in the ACSD.
82. If the ACSD meets this burden, it has no responsibilty to remit
tuition payments for said student nor provide said student with free education.
83. Instead of meeting this burden, the ACSD has attempted to shift the
burden to the Charter Schools by requiring the Charter Schools to verify residency for
new students prior to remitting and payment for such students.
84. Such burden shifting actions have no basis in law.
85. Indeed, it is the ACSD's obligation to know the students who reside
in the ACSD because "School districts shall include the enrollment of resident students
attending charter schools in the enrollment, attendance and, if applicable, count of
students with disabiliies reported to the department for the purposes of claiming State
aid." 8 NYCRR§119.1(d)(5).
86. By reason of the foregoing, the Charter Schools are entitled to a
declaration that there is a presumption of residency and it is ACSD's obligation to refute
residency prior to withholding payment.
87. Petitioners repeat and reallege paragraphs 1-86 of this Verified
88. For the 2010-2011 academic year the Charter Schools have
invoiced the ACSD at the rate of $7,201.92 for special education high cost aid for
students residing in the ACSD.
89. Education Law § 2856(1 )(a) provides that the Charter Schools must
provide, if applicable, ACSD with a count of students with disabilities for students
residing in the ACSD.
90. The invoiced rate for special education high cost aid is established
by Education Law § 2856(1)(a) and is published in a directive by the NYSED.
91. Neither Education Law § 2856 nor any Department of Education
Regulations permits the ACSD to impose additional documentation requirements upon
the Charter Schools such as those recently mandated by the ACSD via its legal
92. By reason of the foregoing, the Charter Schools are entitled to a
declaration that the special education high cost aid rates as invoiced by the Charter
Schools in 2010-2011 apply for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic year and that
the ACSD cannot withhold payment to the Charter Schools until the Charter Schools
complete certain ACSD created documentation beyond that provided for by Education
Law § 2856 or the NYSED Regulations.
268657.8 6/1/2011
93. Petitioners repeat and reallege paragraphs 1-92 of this Verified
94. Upon submission of the Charter School invoices to the ACSD, the
ACSD has 30 days to remit payment for such invoices.
95. If ACSD fails to pay an invoice in full, which it repeatedly has done,
the Charter Schools must wait sixty (60) days from the date they submit the invoice in
question before they can submit an Intercept to NYSED.
96. NYSED typically takes several months to grant an Intercept, during
which time ACSD possesses monies to which the Charter Schools are rightfully entitled.
Such wrongful holding of monies is to the financial benefit of the ACSD and the financial
detriment of the Charter Schools.
97. By reason of the foregoing, the Charter Schools are requesting a
declaration that it is entiled to interest on any unpaid and/or late reimbursement
payments accruing from the date upon which such payments became due. WHEREFORE, the Charter Schools pray that this Court grant the Verified
Petition in all respects: (1) compellng Respondent to pay Petitioners at the 2010-2011
charter school basic tuition rate of $14,072 per student for both the 2010-2011 and
2011-2012 academic years; (2) compelling Respondent to pay Petitioners for all
students enrolled at the Charter Schools who reside within the ACSD without additional
documentation; and (3) compellng Respondent to pay Petitioners high cost special
education payments without the Charter Schools completion of ACSD self-created
additional documentation. Petitioners also request an order: (1) declaring that the
charter school basic tuition rate as invoiced by the Petitioners for the 2010-2011
academic year applies for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 academic years; (2) declaring
that the Respondent bears the burden of refuting the residency of students who claim to
reside in the ACSD; (3) declaring that the Respondent cannot require Petitioners to
provide additional documentation before receiving special education high cost aid; and (4) declaring that Petitioners are entitled to interest on any unpaid and/or late
reimbursement payments accruing from the date upon which such payments became
due. Furthermore, Petitioners pray for an order granting such other and further relief
which this Court deems just and proper, together with the costs and disbursements of
this proceeding and attorneys' fees.
