Summary

New York Senate Bill 4449 makes city school districts in large cities (those with a population of one million or more) eligible for transitional aid for charter school payments. Previously, such large city school districts were excluded from this aid program. The bill removes that exclusion, allowing large urban school districts to receive transitional aid apportionments to help pay for charter school costs. The change is effective April 1, 2027.
