N.Y. Education Law § 1807: Transportation of school children

§ 1807. Transportation of school children. 1. The commissioner of

education shall have power in any such central school district to

require the payment by the district of such expense of transportation of

school children to and from the schools they legally attend within the

district as in his judgment such transportation is required because of

the remoteness of the school to the pupil or for the promotion of the

best interests of such children and the same shall be a charge upon the

district.

2. In any part of the city school district of the city of Syracuse for

which transportation of school children is not provided and which the

board of education of such district shall have designated as an area

presenting a danger or hazard to school children walking to and from

school, such board may provide transportation for such school children

to and from the school they legally attend within the district and the

cost of such transportation shall be a charge upon the district.
