| NY | Vetoed 07/2012 | P-12 | Requires that the determination of appropriate educational programs and placements for a student with a disability include, upon the parent's request, a determination of the child's ability to learn in any given educational environment. Requires that such determination take into account the possible educational impact that differences between the school environment and the home environment/family background may have on the child's ability to receive a free appropriate public education. Also requires a district to grant or deny a parent's request for tuition reimbursement within 90 days of receipt of request. If the district grants the request for tuition reimbursement, requires the reimbursement to be provided within 30 days from the date the request was granted. Also requires that upon written agreement that a unilateral parental placement was appropriate and that tuition reimbursement should be granted for such placement, the tuition reimbursement must continue until the committee on special education amends or modifies the child's individualized education program (IEP).

| NY | Issued 04/2012 | P-12 | Establishes the New NY Education Reform Commission to provide guidance and advice to the governor on education policy, performance, and innovation. Directs the commission to study the best national and international public education models and best practices to recommend ways to increase educational productivity and student performance in the state. Directs the commission to comprehensively review and assess the state's education system to ultimately create significant savings while improving student achievement and providing students with a high-quality education. Requires that the review include, but not be limited to:
a. studying teacher recruitment and performance, including incentives to keep the best teachers, and the teacher preparation, certification and evaluation systems;
b. analyzing factors that support P-12 student achievement to ensure all students are on track to graduate from high school ready for college, careers, and active citizenship;
c. evaluating education funding, distribution of state aid, and operating costs to identify efficiencies in spending while maintaining the quality of educational programs, including special education;
d. increasing parent and family engagement, including examining the school calendar and district-level policies that increase parental involvement;
e. examining the unique issues faced by high-need urban and rural districts, including comparing best practices and identifying the different services that these districts might require to be successful;
f. analyzing the availability of technology and its best use in the classroom, including the accessibility of, and obstacles to, using technology in the classroom in light of the requirements and demands of the job market to best prepare our students; and
g. examining the overall structure of the state's education system to determine whether it meets students' needs while respecting the taxpayer.
Directs the commission to compare student achievement outcomes with education spending, focusing on districts that generate higher than average achievement per dollars spent, including high-need districts that are providing students with the opportunity to receive a sound basic education, and identifying how districts can boost student achievement without increasing spending. Directs the commission to submit preliminary recommendations by December 2012, and final recommendations by September 2013, at which time the commission will terminate its work.
