We moved our family to rural Northern New York State. Does anyone know if there are rural school bus rules/codes? Are there maximum distances a child has to walk on rural (no sidewalks) roads with no shelters and road traffic at 55mph? Are there rural parents advocacy groups? Thanks.
The distance students must travel to stops needs to be established and the criteria strictly adhered to within the district. Education Law 3635 requires that students be provided transportation if they live more than two miles (K-8) or three miles (9-12) from school. Students can not be asked to go further than this to a school bus stop, unless the school board determines that the road where the student lives is too hazardous for school bus travel. Districts can choose to provide a higher level of service. There must be voter approval for any lesser distances and there will be no state reimbursement for distances under one and a half miles.
