  18. Uniting to Close the Gap and Turn Around Underperforming Schools Long Island Regional Planning Council Education Work Group Actions • Focus Long Island’s collective resources, political muscle, fiscal might and educational expertise on elevating achievement in its persistently lowest achieving school districts. • Create equal educational opportunities between and among school districts by the promotion of collaborative initiatives involving BOCES, institutions of higher education, groupings of local school districts, and other cooperative regional assets.

  19. Uniting to Close the Gap and Turn Around Underperforming Schools • Apply the “Distinguished Educator” provision of the • State Education Law, utilize available data to assess • and monitor progress in closing the existing • achievement gap among school districts, and assure • resources are directed to school districts to address • disparities and inequalities in educational • opportunities. • Seek a regional solution as preferable among • potential options in the event a change in governance • of a school district is contemplated or required. • Regionalize the school portion of the commercial/ • industrial and utility property tax base using a phase- • in approach for “Projects of Regional Significance”.
