 Introduced by M. of A. PAULIN -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Education

 AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to the transportation of
 children residing in a school district in the village of Tuckahoe

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Paragraphs a, b and e of subdivision 1 of section 3635 of
 2 the education law, paragraph a as amended by section 11 of part A of
 3 chapter 97 of the laws of 2011, paragraph b as amended by chapter 718 of
 4 the laws of 1990, subparagraph (i) of paragraph b as amended by chapter
 5 571 of the laws of 1994 and paragraph e as amended by chapter 665 of the
 6 laws of 1990, are amended to read as follows:
 7 a. Sufficient transportation facilities (including the operation and
 8 maintenance of motor vehicles) shall be provided by the school district
 9 for all the children residing within the school district to and from the
 10 school they legally attend, who are in need of such transportation
 11 because of the remoteness of the school to the child or for the
 12 promotion of the best interest of such children. Such transportation
 13 shall be provided for all children attending grades kindergarten through
 14 eight who live more than two miles from the school which they legally
 15 attend and for all children attending grades nine through twelve who
 16 live more than three miles from the school which they legally attend and
 17 shall be provided for each such child up to a distance of fifteen miles,
 18 except upon the adoption of a resolution, limiting such transportation
 19 to seven miles, by the board of education of a school district in the
 20 village of Tuckahoe, the distances in each case being measured by the
 21 nearest available route from home to school. The cost of providing such
 22 transportation between two or three miles, as the case may be, and seven
 23 or fifteen miles, as the case may be, shall be considered for the
 24 purposes of this chapter to be a charge upon the district and an ordi-
 25 nary contingent expense of the district. Transportation for a lesser
 26 distance than two miles in the case of children attending grades kinder-
 27 garten through eight or three miles in the case of children attending

 4 equally to all children in like circumstances residing in the district;
 5 provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply to transporta-
 6 tion offered pursuant to section thirty-six hundred thirty-five-b of

 8 b. (i) School districts providing transportation to a nonpublic school

 10 designate one or more public schools as centralized pick-up points and
 11 shall provide transportation between such points and such nonpublic
 12 schools for students residing in the district who live too far from such
 13 nonpublic schools to qualify for transportation between home and school.
 14 The district shall not be responsible for the provision of transporta-
 15 tion for pupils between their home and such pick-up points. The
