Provides that transportation shall be provided to all children attending grades kindergarten through twelve who live within a fifteen mile radius of the school they legally attend

Summary

The legislation amends the New York Education Law so that districts must provide transportation for kindergarten‑through‑eighth‑grade students who live more than two miles from the school they legally attend and for ninth‑through‑twelfth‑grade students who live more than three miles away, with service extending to any distance within a fifteen‑mile radius. It also creates rules for transporting students to nonpublic schools via centralized pick‑up points and allows districts to offer rides to before‑ or after‑school child‑care locations for K‑8 students upon parental request. The changes are intended to improve access to school and related programs for students who are farther from their schools.
