SHARE: NY State Summer School Handbook

[Carolyn Gierke <cgierke@SHS.K12.NY.US>]

Any NY state school that is offering Summer School should be aware of the
2003 NYS Summer School Handbook, available  online at:

http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/rscs/chaps/SummerSchool/SummerSchoolHandbook2003.doc

This handbook is important, but rarely seen by teachers because it
outlines the requirements the district must meet to offer Summer School.

Two very important points are:

p.7   "...summer school is public instruction during the months of July
and August..."

p.9   "All secondary summer schools offering any course other than driver
and traffic safety education are required to provide appropriate library
services in accordance with Part 91 of the Commissioner's regulations."

Regardless of what your district may call it, summer school is regular
instruction  presented in July and August.  All NYS regulations and laws,
and terms and provisions of your contract apply to Summer School.

"There are three types of people:  the "glass half full" group, the "glass
half empty" group, and the group looking for someone to blame for spilling
the glass in the first place." - Cleveland Amory
