NY Educ L § 549 (2021)
2021 New York Laws EDN - Education Title 1 - General Provisions Article 12 - Health and Safety Grants for Nonpublic School Children 549 - Legislative Findings.

§ 549. Legislative   findings.    The  legislature  hereby  finds  and   declares that:1. The state has  a  primary  responsibility  to  ensure  the  health,   welfare  and  safety  of  children  attending  both public and nonpublic   schools.2. The state discharges this responsibility to public school  children   through  substantial  amounts of per pupil financial assistance to local   school districts. The fiscal crisis in nonpublic education, however, has   caused  a  diminution  of  proper  maintenance  and   repair   programs,   threatening the health, welfare and safety of nonpublic school children,   particularly  in  urban  areas. Such areas are generally identified by a   high incidence of families receiving assistance  to  dependent  children   and   deteriorating  physical  structures,  including  nonpublic  school   buildings. Financial resources necessary to properly maintain and repair   such buildings are beyond the capabilities of  low-income  people  whose   children attend nonpublic schools.3. In recognition of the financial plight of urban areas in attracting   qualified  teachers,  the federal government has enacted Title IV of the   Higher Education Act of  nineteen  hundred  sixty-five,  which  provides   incentives  to  teachers to instruct in those schools which serve a high   concentration of students from low-income families.4. It is  incumbent  upon  the  state  to  ensure  that  the  physical   environment in such Title IV areas is both healthy and safe.  Incidental   to such goals, but none the less significant, is the contribution that a   healthy  and  safe  school  environment  makes to the stability of urban   neighborhoods.5. To insure a  healthy  and  safe  school  environment  for  children   attending  nonpublic schools, the state has the right to make grants for   maintenance and repair expenditures which are clearly  secular,  neutral   and non-ideological in nature.

2021 New York Laws EDN - Education Title 1 - General Provisions Article 12 - Health and Safety Grants for Nonpublic School Children 551 - Apportionment.

§ 551. Apportionment.  1.  In order to meet proper health, welfare and   safety standards in qualifying schools for the  benefit  of  the  pupils   enrolled  therein, there shall be apportioned health, welfare and safety   grants by the commissioner to each  qualifying  school  for  the  school   years  beginning  on and after July first, nineteen hundred seventy-one,   an amount equal to the product  of  thirty  dollars  multiplied  by  the   average daily attendance of pupils receiving instruction in such school,   to  be  applied  for costs of maintenance and repair. Such apportionment   shall be increased by  ten  dollars  multiplied  by  the  average  daily   attendance   of  pupils  receiving  instruction  in  a  school  building   constructed prior to nineteen hundred forty-seven. In no event shall the   per pupil annual allowance computed under this section exceed fifty  per   centum  of  the  average  per  pupil  cost of equivalent maintenance and   repair in the public schools of the state  on  a  state-wide  basis,  as   determined  by the commissioner, and in no event shall the apportionment   to a qualifying school exceed the amount of expenditures for maintenance   and repair of such school as reported pursuant to section  five  hundred   fifty-two of this article.2.  The apportionment pursuant to this section shall be reduced by one   one hundred eightieth for each day less than  one  hundred  eighty  days   that  such school was actually in total session in the base year, except   that the commissioner may disregard such reduction up to five days if he   finds that the school was not in session for  one  hundred  eighty  days   because  of  extraordinary  adverse  weather  conditions,  impairment of   heating facilities, insufficiency of water supply, shortage of  fuel  or   the  destruction  of  a school building, and if the commissioner further   finds that such school cannot make up such days  of  instruction  during   the  school  year. No such reduction shall be made, however, for any day   on which such school was in session for the purpose of administering the   regents examinations or the regents  scholarship  examinations,  or  any   day,  not  to  exceed  three  days,  when such school was not in session   because of a conference of teachers  called  by  the  principal  of  the   school.

NY Educ L § 559 (2021)
2021 New York Laws EDN - Education Title 1 - General Provisions Article 12-A - Arthur O. Eve Elementary and Secondary Education Opportunity Program 559 - Legislative Findings.

§ 559. Legislative findings. The legislature hereby finds and declares   that:1. The vitality of our pluralistic society is, in part, dependent upon   the  capacity  of  individual  parents  to  select  a school, other than   public, for the education of their children. A healthy  competitive  and   diverse alternative to public education is not only desirable but indeed   vital  to  a state and nation that have continually reaffirmed the value   of individual differences.2.  The  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  has  recognized  and   reaffirmed  this  right of selection. This right, however, is diminished   or even denied to children of lower-income families, whose  parents,  of   all  groups,  have the least options in determining where their children   are to be educated.3. Quality education is made possible for all children  in  our  state   only  because  the  burden of providing it has been carried by taxpayers   who support both public and nonpublic education. Any precipitous decline   in the number of nonpublic school pupils would cause a massive  increase   in  public school enrollment and costs. Such an increase would seriously   jeopardize quality education for all children and aggravate  an  already   serious fiscal crisis in public education.4. In recognition of the initiative of parents who support both public   and  nonpublic  education,  it  is a legitimate purpose for the state to   partially  relieve  the  financial  burden  of  parents  who  provide  a   nonpublic  education  for  their children which satisfies the compulsory   education laws of the state. Such assistance is clearly secular, neutral   and nonideological in nature and is consistent with the  historical  and   continuing  role  of  the state in providing a quality education for all   children and in nurturing a pluralistic society.5. The Arthur O. Eve Elementary and  Secondary  Education  Opportunity   Program  is  hereby established, which consists of tuition reimbursement   for parents of low income, in order to  provide  partial  assistance  in   meeting  the  financial burden of supporting the compulsory education of   their  children  who  are  full-time  students  in  New  York  nonpublic   elementary and secondary schools.

If the parents of a pupil are living   apart, the taxable income of the parent who claims  reimbursement  under   this  article shall be based upon the taxable income of that parent with   whom the pupil is living, or who exercises custody if  the  pupil  is  a   minor,  or  would exercise custody if the applicant were a minor and any   appropriate payments for the support of the pupil from the other parent.c. "Nonpublic school" means  any  nonprofit  elementary  or  secondary   school  in  the State of New York, other than a public school, which (i)   is providing  instruction  in  accordance  with  article  seventeen  and   section thirty-two hundred four of this chapter, (ii) has not been found   to  be  in violation of Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964, 78 Stat. 252,   42 U.S.C. § 2000 (d), and (iii) which is entitled  to  a  tax  exemption   under  section  five hundred one (a) and five hundred one (c) (3) of the   Federal  Internal  Revenue  Code  of  nineteen  hundred  fifty-four,  as   amended.d.
