  as  amended,  and the federal regulations implementing such statute, the
  regents shall develop and implement  an  enhanced  state  accountability
  system that uses growth measures to the extent required by this section.

  with federal law, includes a value-added assessment model that employs a
  scale-score approach to measure growth of students at all levels. (a) If
  the regents establish that the  assessment  scaling  and  accountability
  methodology  employed  have  been  determined  by  external  experts  in
  educational testing and measurement to be  valid  and  reliable  and  in
  accordance  with established standards for educational and psychological
  testing, and (b)  the  approval  of  the  United  States  department  of
  education  has been obtained where required by federal law, the enhanced
  growth model shall be implemented no later than the  start  of  the  two
  thousand ten--two thousand eleven school year.
3.  In implementing the provisions of subdivisions one and two of this
  section, the regents shall by July first, two thousand eight,  establish

1.  The  following  provisions  are  hereby  included  in the charter,
  heretofore or hereafter granted under this chapter,  to  incorporate  an
  institution  or  association (chartered organization) which is a private
  foundation as defined in section  509  of  the  United  States  internal
  revenue code of 1954 ("Code").
a.  The  chartered organization shall distribute such amounts for each
  taxable year at such time and in such  manner  as  not  to  subject  the
  chartered organization to tax on undistributed income under section 4942
  of the code.
b.  The  chartered  organization  shall  not  engage  in  any  act  of
  self-dealing which is subject to tax under section 4941 of the code.
c. The chartered organization shall not  retain  any  excess  business
  holdings which are subject to tax under section 4943 of the code.
d.  The  chartered organization shall not make any investments in such
  manner as to subject the corporation to tax under section  4944  of  the
  code.
e.  The chartered organization shall not make any taxable expenditures
  which are subject to tax under section  4945  of  the  code.  Except  as
  provided  in  subdivision  two, this subdivision applies notwithstanding
  any other provision of the charter or any direction in an instrument  by
  which assets were transferred to the chartered organization.
2.  Subdivision 1 shall not apply to the extent that it conflicts with
  any  mandatory  direction  in  an  instrument  by  which   assets   were
  transferred to the chartered organization prior to the effective date of
  this   section   unless   such   conflicting  direction  is  removed  as
  impracticable under article eight of the estates, powers and trusts  law
  or  in  any  other  manner  provided  by  law. The absence of a specific
  provision in such an instrument for the current use of the principal  of
  the  fund,  or  the presence in such an instrument of a provision, as to
  the principal of the  fund,  limited  to  the  principal's  being  held,
  invested and reinvested, is not such a conflicting mandatory direction.
3.  All references in this section to sections of the code shall be to
  sections as amended from time to time, or to corresponding provisions of
  subsequent internal revenue laws.
4. Nothing in this section shall impair the rights and powers  of  the
  courts or the attorney-general of this state.
