2006 New York Code - 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.
