NYS Coalition of Special Act School Districts

NYS Coalition of Special Act School Districts

The Coalition of Special Act School Districts is a support group for special act school districts operating in New York State. Its chief purpose is to facilitate the views of a branch of New York State public schools that adhere to the guidelines established by legislative special acts that created them to meet the unique needs of students falling under Title I D (neglected and delinquent minors) of NCLB and offer a full or partial residential placement while providing the educational needs of this struggling population. Many of the residents from these communities are assigned to these districts through the court system, committees on special education referrals and social service placements from nearby orphanages and group homes.

These districts compete with 853 educational organizations which are equivalent to the privatized versions of Special Act districts throughout the state.

Terminology

These districts are not considered charter schools but instead, completely state-funded public school districts. In addition, they are not the same as Private or State-Run schools. Each of the Special Act School Districts has its own Board of Education which convenes to regulate district policy and procedures.

New York State Special Act school districts

There were originally some 18 districts in all. Recent changes in state funding and budgetary reform have resulted in only thirteen special act school districts left to handle the needs of all special act student populations within New York State. They are as follows.
