Bill > S03709

This bill authorizes and directs the New York State Commissioner of Education to develop specific transportation guidelines for school field trips in New York City's five boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island). The guidelines will cover transportation of students to field trip locations using school-owned or school-leased buses, and will apply to trips both during and outside of school hours. The transportation provisions will cover locations within twenty miles outside the boroughs' boundaries and within the county where the school district is located. By creating these guidelines, the bill aims to provide clear, standardized procedures for school districts in these boroughs regarding field trip transportation, potentially making such educational experiences more accessible and consistent for students. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
