The state of New York is granting a waiver to Adirondack Helping Hands for the 2016-2017 school year. This waiver allows Adirondack Helping Hands to receive $52,000 to cover costs associated with special class in an integrated setting. As a result, Adirondack Helping Hands will reduce any recognized surplus for the 2016-2017 school year by $52,000, and a final surplus of $16,000 will be recoverable on reconciliation. The commissioner of education will calculate and finalize the rate reconciliation for Adirondack Helping Hands and submit it to the director of the budget, who will approve the submittal. No additional penalty will be levied against Adirondack Helping Hands in any subsequent school year. This waiver will take effect immediately.
