BILL NUMBER:S268 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the education law, in relation to the transportation of children residing in a school district PURPOSE: This bill increases the distances in which non-public school pupils must be transported to his or her school. The bill assists pupils and their families by encouraging the provision of transportation of pupils to non-public schools from the home of such pupil regardless of whether such non-public school is within such district. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends Education Law section 3635(1) to increase from 15 miles to 25 miles the distance in which a non-public school pupil must be transported to school. In addition, the bill adds a new section 3635(1)(b)(iii) to provide transportation of pupils to a non-public school from the home of such pupil, regardless if such school is within the district. EXISTING LAW: The current law does not meet the ever evolving demands of children that need to be transported to non-public schools.
