§ 3610. Apportionment  for apprenticeship training.  1. Apprenticeship   training programs. Local education agencies  which  provide  related  or   supplemental   instruction   to  apprentices  registered  by  the  state   department of labor pursuant to article twenty-three of  the  labor  law   shall  be  eligible  for  an apportionment pursuant to the provisions of   this section for the operation of apprenticeship  training  programs  as   approved by the commissioner. Priority shall be given to local education   agencies  which  provide  for an increased number of participants in the   related or supplemental instructional component of  apprentice  training   programs.  Designated local education agencies may provide such programs   directly, or by contracting with school districts, boards of cooperative   educational  services  and  other  providers  of   apprentice   training   services,  including  postsecondary  institutions  and  other  providers   authorized to confer degrees in this state or in  which  the  course  of   instruction   is  licensed,  registered  or  approved  pursuant  to  any   provision of this chapter.2. Apprenticeship training hours. For  the  purpose  of  computing  an   apportionment under this section, apprenticeship training hours shall be   the  total  number of hours of related or supplemental instruction given   all apprentices in approved apprenticeship training programs in the area   served by the designated local education agency between July  first  and   June  thirtieth  of  the  base  year  as reported to the commissioner by   September first of the current year.3. Maximum apportionment per hour.  For aid payable  for  school  year   nineteen  hundred  eighty-nine--ninety  the    maximum apportionment per   apprenticeship training hour shall be computed  by  dividing  the  state   appropriation  for  related and supplemental instruction for apprentices   by the total number of apprenticeship training hours of  all  designated   local  education  agencies in the state, computed in accordance with the   regulations of  the  commissioner.  For  aid  payable  for  school  year   nineteen  hundred  ninety--ninety-one and thereafter, this apportionment   shall be at the rate of one dollar per training hour.4. Apprenticeship training program  apportionment.  The  apportionment   pursuant  to  this  section  shall  be  the  product  obtained  when the   apportionment per hour is multiplied by  the  number  of  apprenticeship   training hours of the designated local education agency. Notwithstanding   the  provisions  of  section  thirty-six  hundred  nine of this article,   payment of such apportionment shall be made by  November  first  of  the   current year.5.  State  aid. No designated local education agency may receive under   the provisions of this section an amount which when added to  all  other   state  aid  received  by  such designated local education agency for the   purpose of this section, exceeds one-half the cost of  such  program  in   that  year. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, if the   total aid received exceeds one-half the cost of the program,  any  state   aid payable to the designated local education agency shall be reduced in   the amount of such excess.6.  Apprentices. Apprentices in apprenticeship training programs shall   not be included in any attendance count of this article  and  shall  not   generate aid under any other provisions of this chapter.7.   Apportionment  for  administrative  costs.  In  addition  to  the   apportionment under subdivision four of  this  section,  any  designated   local  education  agency  which  has  reported  by  September  first the   processing of more than one hundred fifty apprentices shall  receive  an   amount equal to three dollars per apprentice served.8.  Regulations.  The  commissioner may adopt regulations to implement   any of the provisions of this section.
