BILL NUMBER:S6404
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing boards of education to provide certain children transportation to school
Purpose
Allows boards of education to provide certain children transportation to school for a lesser distance than two miles
Summary of provisions
Section 1. amends subdivision 1 of section 3635 of the education law to allow for a child residing within the two or three mile designated area to upon approval of the school use and already established pick up/drop off location outside of the designated area.
Section 2. Effective date
Justification
This legislation would permit students who live within the two or three mile designated area to upon approval of the board to access transportation at an already established pick up and drop off location outside of the two or three mile designated area. Giving school districts this flexibility would allow them to make determinations on a case by case basis taking into consideration factors such as availability of seating on current buses traveling on established routes and the safety of routes for students who live within two or three mile designated area traveling to school.
