SUMMARY:

 

Attached for your approval is a proposed repeal of Part 221 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education.  Supporting materials are available upon request from the Secretary to the Board of Regents. 

 

Part 221 governs leaves of absence for State Education Department employees.  However, these rules have been superceded by provisions in the Civil Service Law, federal law or collective bargaining agreements.  Accordingly, the proposed repeal is necessary to delete obsolete provisions relating to leaves of absences taken by Education Department staff. 

 

            A Notice of Proposed Rule Making was published in the State Register on March 3, 2004. 

 

RECOMMENDATION:   It is recommended that the Rules of the Board of Regents be amended in accordance with the attached draft and that the Regents take the following action:

 

VOTED:  That Part 221 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education be repealed, as submitted, effective June 10, 2004.

 

 

Attachment

            Pursuant to sections 101, 207 and 305 of the Education Law.

            Part 221 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education is repealed, effective June 10, 2004.
