AN ACT to legalize, validate, ratify and confirm certain capital
improvement projects of the New Rochelle city school district
The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-bly, do enact as follows:
1 Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds that the
2 New Rochelle city school district approved several capital improvement
3 projects which were designated by the state education department as
4 project numbers 0001-007, 0002-006, 0004-004, 0012-006, 0006-004, 0003-
5 006, 0001-009, 0001-010, 7999-001 and 7999-002. In addition, the
6 projects were eligible for certain state aid. The legislature further
7 finds that due to ministerial error, required filings for eligibility
8 for such aid were not made by the district in a timely manner making the
9 district ineligible for certain aid. The legislature further finds that
10 without such aid, the capital improvement projects will impose an addi-
11 tional, unanticipated hardship on district taxpayers.

13 caused to be had and taken by the New Rochelle city school district and
