Senator Bill Weber is reminding local families that the deadline to submit non-public school transportation requests for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year is fast approaching. According to New York State law, both public and private school transportation is mandated, but families must follow specific procedures to ensure eligibility.
IMPORTANT: All transportation requests for private schools must be submitted to your local school district no later than April 1, 2026.
Senator Weber’s office urges parents not to assume transportation will automatically continue if their child is currently receiving busing. Many school districts require families to reapply for transportation services each year.
“Every year, there are countless issues with busing at the start of the school year,” Senator Weber said. “The most critical step to making sure every child has busing is for families to submit their transportation requests for each child in the family by the April 1 deadline.”
To assist residents, Senator Weber has provided a list of Rockland County school districts along with their websites and contact information. Parents are encouraged to contact their district directly with any questions or concerns.
