§ 800. Applicability of New York Laws — Article X A.

• General school laws. With respect to the operation and maintenance of any school of the district located
  in New York, the provisions of New York law shall apply except as otherwise provided
  in this compact and except that the powers and duties of the school board shall be
  exercised and discharged by the interstate board and the powers and duties of the
  union superintendent shall be exercised and discharged by the interstate district
  superintendent. B. New York state aid. A New York school district shall be entitled to receive an amount of state aid for
  operating expenditures as though its share of the interstate district’s expenses were
  the expenses of the New York member district, and as though the New York member district
  pupils attending the interstate school were attending a New York cooperative school
  district’s school. The state aid shall be paid to the New York member school district
  to reduce the sums which would otherwise be required to be raised by taxation within
  the member district. C. Continued existence of the New York member school district. A New York member school district shall continue in existence, and shall have all
  of the powers and be subject to all of the obligations imposed by law and not herein
  delegated to the interstate district. If the interstate district incorporates only
  a part of the schools in the member school district, then the school board of the
  member school district shall continue in existence and it shall have all of the powers
  and be subject to all of the obligations imposed by law on it and not herein delegated
  to the district. However, if all of the schools in the member school district are
  incorporated into the interstate school district, then the member or members of the
  interstate board representing the member district shall have all of the powers and
  be subject to all of the obligations imposed by law on the members of a school board
  for the member district and not herein delegated to the interstate district. The
  New York member school district shall remain liable on its existing indebtedness;
  and the interstate school district shall not become liable therefor, unless the indebtedness
  is specifically assumed in accordance with the articles of agreement. Any trust funds
  or capital reserve funds and any property not taken over by the interstate district
  shall be retained by the New York member district and held or disposed of according
  to law. If all of the schools in a member district are incorporated into an interstate
  district, then no annual meeting of the member district shall be required unless the
  members of the interstate board from the member district shall determine that there
  is occasion for such an annual meeting. D. Suit and service of process in New York. The courts of New York shall have the same jurisdiction over the district as though
  a New York member district were a party instead of the interstate district. The service
  necessary to institute suit in New York shall be made on the district by leaving a
  copy of the writ or other proceedings in hand or at the last and usual place of abode
  of one of the directors who reside in New York, and by mailing a like copy to the
  clerk and to one other director by certified mail with return receipt requested. E. Employment. Each employee of an interstate district assigned to a school located in New York shall
  be considered an employee of a New York school district for the purpose of the New
  York Teachers’ Retirement System, the New York State Employees’ Retirement System,
  the New York workers’ compensation law and any other law relating to the regulation
  of employment or the provision of benefits for employees of New York school districts
  except as follows: 1. A teacher in a New York member district may elect to remain a member of the New York
  teachers’ retirement system, even though assigned to teach in an interstate school
  in Vermont. 2. Employees of interstate districts designated as professional or instructional staff
  members, as defined in article I hereof, may elect to participate in the teachers’
  retirement system of either the State of New York or the State of Vermont but in no
  case will they participate in both retirement systems simultaneously. 3. It shall be the duty of the superintendent in an interstate district to:
