     5  of  the regional cost index values used within the public school founda-
     6  tion aid formula, as well as  county  placement  in  the  Hudson  Valley
     7  region.  The department shall consider the appropriateness of moving any

    10  city  region.  The  department  shall  consult  with  the New York state

    12  and  the  Long  Island/New  York  city region. The department shall also
    13  review the regional costs associated with  construction  and  study  the
    14  impact  on  applying  an up to date cost index on public school building
    15  aid reimbursement.
