Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to authorizing and directing the commissioner of education to develop guidelines for transportation of students on field trips
AI Summary
This bill authorizes and directs the New York State Commissioner of Education to develop transportation guidelines specifically for student field trips in the five New York City boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island). The guidelines will cover transportation on school-owned or school-leased buses for field trips occurring during and outside of school hours. Importantly, the bill mandates that transportation can be provided to locations within twenty miles outside of these boroughs' boundaries, as well as to any location within the school district's county. This means school districts in these boroughs will have clear, standardized rules about transporting students to field trip destinations, potentially expanding the range of educational opportunities for students by making transportation more flexible and accessible.
