Authorizes a school district in the village of Tuckahoe, by resolution, to limit transportation of students to 7 miles
This bill amends New York's Education Law to allow the Tuckahoe school district (located in the village of Tuckahoe) to adopt a resolution limiting student transportation to a maximum of 7 miles from home to school, instead of the standard 15-mile limit. It directly affects students in Tuckahoe who live more than 2 miles from school (grades K-8) or more than 3 miles (grades 9-12), as transportation would no longer be required beyond the 7-mile cap. The key provision is that the Tuckahoe school board can formally set this reduced distance through a resolution, while other districts remain subject to the 15-mile standard. This change applies only to Tuckahoe and does not alter transportation requirements for other school districts.
