§ 14-04 Memorandum of Understanding.

RCNY § 14-04

If the Department notifies a school that it qualifies to participate in the Reimbursement Program, the Department shall also provide a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) regarding the school’s participation in the Reimbursement Program. Each school must enter into a MOU with the City of New York, acting by and through the Department, before the school may receive funds through the Reimbursement Program. The MOU must be returned by the School to the Department no later than November 15 of the corresponding year. Failure to timely return the MOU to the Department shall result in the forfeiture of the School’s acceptance into the Program for the school year at issue, and the school will need to reapply the following year if it seeks to participate in the Reimbursement Program. Any security expenses incurred by a school from the date of acceptance, but prior to the timely return of the MOU will not be eligible for reimbursement. Upon execution of the MOU, such MOU shall take effect in accordance with applicable law.
