Part 1 - (3601 - 3613) GENERAL PROVISIONS
3610 - Apportionment for apprenticeship training.

 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.
