Relates to certain contracts regarding bus drivers and bus drivers' assistants

This bill (S 6940) requires New York school districts to follow existing collective bargaining agreements when disciplining bus drivers and assistants under certain transportation contracts. It amends education law sections to mandate that districts honor union terms governing disciplinary actions before imposing penalties, applying to all contracts for pupil transportation. The law extends maximum contract terms to five years for transportation services and specifies that districts must adhere to union agreements on discipline for drivers employed by contracted providers. It directly affects school districts, transportation contractors, and bus drivers/assistants covered by collective bargaining agreements.
