S 3709 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes and directs the commissioner of education to develop guidelines for transportation of students on field trips

This bill directs New York City's education commissioner to create guidelines for school bus transportation during field trips for schools located in the five boroughs (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island). The guidelines must cover transportation during and outside school hours, and field trips must be limited to locations within 20 miles outside these boroughs or within the same county. It applies specifically to school buses owned or leased by districts in these boroughs. This is a procedural step to establish standardized transportation rules, not a direct policy change or funding measure.
