Bill > S03786

This bill amends the education law to expand transportation responsibilities for city school districts in cities with populations of one million or more. Specifically, the bill modifies existing provisions related to student transportation by adding remedial services, homework, and childcare to the list of activities for which schools must provide transportation. Under the current law, school districts are required to transport students in kindergarten through sixth grade who attend school for regularly scheduled academic classes during specific hours (from 9:30 AM to 4 PM) and live a certain distance from their school. The proposed change would now include transportation for students attending remedial services, homework sessions, or childcare programs at the same school, while maintaining the existing distance and time parameters. This means that for schools in large cities like New York City, the school district would be responsible for transporting students to and from these additional educational and care-related activities, potentially making it easier for families to access supplemental educational support and childcare services.
