N.Y. Civil Service Law § 17-a: Placement of certain director of school facility positions

§ 17-a. Placement of certain director of school facility positions. 1.

The legislature hereby finds and declares that the continued,

uninterrupted, adequate and efficient operation of school facilities is

necessary for the general welfare of the people; that such adequate

operation involves and requires personnel with highly specialized

ability, skill, training, and knowledge; that local civil service

commissions may decide to classify such positions where they constitute

bona fide civil service positions as evidenced by factors including

enhanced pay, benefits, and dignity of position; that while competitive

examination has been deemed practicable for directors of school

facilities, to require such examination for valid appointment of current

long-standing employees would irreparably disorganize certain school

facility operations, endanger the safety of students, and interrupt the

continuity and effective performance of important educational

operations.
