Provides for the time period bases and manner of payment of employment preparation education apportionment state aid

This bill changes how New York State funds job training programs for students in public schools. It sets specific payment schedules: schools submit reports by December 31, March 31, and June 30, with payments issued in April, July, and October. The total annual funding cap is $96 million, and payments for students who already earned diplomas are limited separately. This affects school districts offering employment preparation education, ensuring state aid is paid in installments without counting toward district spending calculations.
