Authorizes and directs the commissioner of education to develop guidelines for transportation of students on field trips
This bill requires New York State's education commissioner to create safety guidelines for school bus transportation during student field trips. It specifically applies to students attending schools in the five boroughs of New York City (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island). The guidelines must cover trips during and outside school hours, with a key provision limiting field trip locations to within 20 miles of the borough boundaries or within the student's county. School districts must use buses they own or lease for these trips.
