§  3037.  Grants for hiring teachers. 1. For purposes of this section,
  the following term shall have the following meaning: "Eligible  teacher"
  shall  mean  an  individual  that: (a) is certified to teach in New York
  state pursuant to section three thousand four of this article; or  holds
  a  Master's  degree  or  Ph.D.  in  Mathematics,  Science, Technology or
  Education;  or  holds  a  Bachelor's  degree  in  Mathematics,  Science,
  Technology or Education and is currently enrolled in a Master's or Ph.D.
  program  in  Mathematics,  Science,  Technology or Education within five
  years from the later of the  effective  date  of  this  section  or  the
  employment   start   date   with   the  nonpublic  school,  (b)  teaches
  Mathematics, Science or Technology in  any  grades  from  three  through
  twelve, and (c) is employed by a nonpublic school.
2.  (a) Within amounts appropriated therefor, nonpublic schools shall,
  upon application, be reimbursed by the department for  the  salaries  of
  eligible  teachers.  Each school which seeks a reimbursement pursuant to
  this section shall submit to the office  of  religious  and  independent
  schools an application therefor, together with such additional documents
  as  the commissioner may reasonably require, at such times, in such form
  and containing such information as the  commissioner  may  prescribe  by
  regulation. Applications for reimbursement pursuant to this section must
  be  received  by  August first of each year for schools to be reimbursed
  for the salaries of eligible teachers in the prior year.
(b) Pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision,  reimbursement  for
  eligible  teachers  shall  be  the average comparable teacher salary and
  personal service, per subject area, of public  school  teachers  in  the
  school  district in which such nonpublic schools are located, multiplied
  by the percentage of full time equivalent  secular  instructional  hours
  completed  in  the school day per subject area. Reimbursements shall not
  be  provided  for  eligible  teachers   who   provide   instruction   in
  mathematics,  science  or  technology  if  such  teachers  also  provide
  non-secular instruction in any capacity.
(c) In the event that the applications for  reimbursement  under  this
  section  exceed  the appropriation available for this program, then each
  applicant shall only be reimbursed an amount  equal  to  the  percentage
  that  each  such  applicant  represents to the total of all applications
  submitted.
3. The commissioner may promulgate any rules or regulations  necessary
  to carry out the provisions of this section.
