Can students experiencing homelessness receive transportation to private school?
Sometimes. If the school district in which the student is temporarily living provides transportation to private schools for permanently housed students, the school district must provide such transportation to temporarily housed students living in the district. Under New York State law, school districts that do provide such transportation are only required to transport students attending private schools up to 15 miles. (M-V Section 722(g)(4); N.Y. Education Law ยง 3635(1)(b)(ii)).
