2023 New York Laws › EDN - Education › Title 4 - Teachers and Pupils › Article 66 - Interstate Compact on Educational Oppurtunity for Military Children › 3304 - Educational Records and Enrollment.

§  3304.  Educational  records  and  enrollment.  1. In the event that
  official education records cannot be released to  the  parents  for  the
  purpose of transfer, the  custodian of  the records in the sending state
  shall  prepare  and furnish  to the parent  a complete set of unofficial
  educational records, to the extent  feasible,  and  using  any  template
  developed  by  the interstate commission. Upon receipt of the unofficial
  education records by a school in the receiving state, the  school  shall
  enroll  and  appropriately  place  the  student based on the information
  provided in the unofficial records pending validation  by  the  official
  records, as quickly as possible.
2.  Simultaneous  with the enrollment and conditional placement of the
  student, the school in the receiving state shall request  the  student's
  official  education  record  from  the school in the sending state. Upon
  receipt of this request, the school in the sending  state  will  process
  and  furnish  the  official  education  records  to  the  school  in the
  receiving state within ten days or within such  time  as  is  reasonably
  determined under the rules promulgated by the interstate commission.
3.  Notwithstanding  any  provisions  of  subdivision seven of section
  twenty-one hundred sixty-four of the public health law to the  contrary,
  compacting  states shall give thirty days from the date of enrollment or
  within such time as is reasonably determined under the rules promulgated
  by the interstate commission, for students transferring from a school in
  a sending state to obtain any immunizations required  by  the  receiving
  state.  For  a  series  of  immunizations,  initial vaccinations must be
  obtained within thirty  days  or  within  such  time  as  is  reasonably
  determined under the rules promulgated by the interstate commission.
4.  For purposes of ensuring a smooth educational transition, students
  transferring from a local educational agency in a  sending  state  shall
  initially  be allowed to continue their enrollment at grade level in the
  receiving state  commensurate  with  their  grade  level  from  a  local
  educational  agency  in  the  sending  state  at the time of transition,
  regardless of age. A  student  that  has  satisfactorily  completed  the
  prerequisite  grade level in the local educational agency in the sending
  state shall initially be eligible for enrollment  in  the  next  highest
  grade  level  in  the  receiving  state,  regardless  of  age. A student
  transferring after the start of the school year in the  receiving  state
  shall  enter  the school in the receiving state on their validated level
  from an  accredited  school  in  the  sending  state.  Nothing  in  this
  subdivision  shall  prohibit a local educational agency in the receiving
  state from  performing  subsequent  evaluations  to  ensure  appropriate
  placement of the student.
2023 New York Laws › EDN - Education › Title 4 - Teachers and Pupils › Article 66 - Interstate Compact on Educational Oppurtunity for Military Children › 3304-A - Advance Enrollment.

§  3304-a.  Advance  enrollment. A student whose parent or guardian is
  being relocated to the state under military orders and is transferred or
  is pending transfer to a military installation within the state shall be
  deemed to be a resident pupil of a school district for the  purposes  of
  enrollment  pursuant  to  section three thousand two hundred two of this
  title, provided that such parent or guardian provides a school  district
  an  address  that  the  student will reside within the boundaries of the
  district in which the student is to be enrolled. A school district shall
  permit a student to enroll preliminarily by remote registration  without
  charge  and  shall  not require the student or the parent or guardian of
  the student to physically appear at a location within the  district  for
  the  purpose of enrolling the student provided the parent or guardian of
  the student provide a school district with military orders that a parent
  or guardian will be stationed  in  this  state  during  the  current  or
  following  school  year  and  an  address  within  the boundaries of the
  district in which the student will reside and is to be enrolled.
2023 New York Laws › EDN - Education › Title 4 - Teachers and Pupils › Article 66 - Interstate Compact on Educational Oppurtunity for Military Children › 3306 - Eligibilty.

§  3306.  Eligibility.  1. (a) When properly executed under applicable
law, a special power of attorney, relative  to  the  guardianship  of  a
military  child,  shall be considered sufficient for the sole purpose of
establishing  residency  of  a  transferring  student   into   a   local
educational  agency  and  for all other actions in the local educational
agency requiring parental participation and consent, for the duration of
the guardianship. For students attending school in New York,  a  special
designation  of  person in parental relation pursuant to title fifteen-A
of article five of the general obligations law, in the  form  prescribed
in  paragraph  (b) of this subdivision, shall constitute a special power
of attorney for such purpose, provided that  notwithstanding  any  other
provision of law to the contrary, such delegation shall remain in effect
until revoked or the child re-establishes residence with a parent.
(b) A local educational agency shall be prohibited from charging local
tuition  to  a  transitioning  military  child  placed  in the care of a
non-custodial parent or other person standing in loco  parentis  with  a
special  designation  of  person  in parental relation pursuant to title
fifteen-A of article five  of  the  general  obligations  law  and  this
paragraph  who  lives in a jurisdiction other than that of the custodial
parent. The special designation of person in parental relation shall  be
in the form prescribed by section 5-1552 of the general obligations law,
except  that  it  shall  clearly identify the student as a transitioning
military child and shall provide that the designation shall continue  in
effect  until  revoked  or  the  child  re-establishes  residence with a
parent. Notwithstanding any provisions of  law  to  the  contrary,  such
designation shall not be for a fixed period and shall result in a change
in  the school district of residence for purposes of this chapter to the
school district in which the designee resides.
(c)  A  transitioning  military  child,  placed  in  the  care  of   a
non-custodial parent or other person standing in loco parentis who lives
in  a jurisdiction other than that of the custodial parent, may continue
to attend the school within New York in which he  or  she  was  enrolled
while  residing  with the custodial parent until the child completes the
highest grade level in such school. Nothing in this paragraph  shall  be
construed   to   require   a   local   educational   agency  to  provide
transportation services to such student while residing  outside  of  the
district  for  distances  greater  than the maximum transportation limit
established under school district policy.
2.  State  and  local  educational  agencies  shall   facilitate   the
opportunity   for   transitioning   military   children's  inclusion  in
extracurricular activities, regardless of application deadlines, to  the
extent they are otherwise qualified.
2023 New York Laws › EDN - Education › Title 4 - Teachers and Pupils › Article 66 - Interstate Compact on Educational Oppurtunity for Military Children › 3307 - Graduation.

§  3307.  Graduation. In order to facilitate the on-time graduation of
  children of military families, states  and  local  educational  agencies
  shall incorporate the following procedures:
1.  Local  educational  agency  administrative  officials  shall waive
  specific courses required for graduation if similar coursework has  been
  satisfactorily  completed  in  another local educational agency or shall
  provide reasonable justification for denial.  Should  a  waiver  not  be
  granted  to  a  student  who  would qualify to graduate from the sending
  school, the local educational agency shall provide an alternative  means
  of acquiring required coursework so that graduation may occur on time.
2.  States  shall  accept (a) exit or end-of-course exams required for
  graduation  from  the  sending  state,  (b)  national  norm   referenced
  achievement  tests  or  (c)  alternative  testing,  in  lieu  of testing
  requirements for graduation in the receiving state.  In  the  event  the
  above  alternatives  cannot be accommodated by the receiving state for a
  student transferring in his or her senior year, then the  provisions  of
  subdivision three of this section shall apply.
3.  Should  a military student transferring at the beginning or during
  his or her senior year be ineligible  to  graduate  from  the  receiving
  local  educational  agency  after all alternatives have been considered,
  the sending and receiving local educational agencies  shall  ensure  the
  receipt  of  a diploma from the sending local educational agency, if the
  student  meets  the  graduation  requirements  of  the   sending   local
  educational  agency.  In the event that one of the states in question is
  not a member of this compact, the member state shall use best efforts to
  facilitate the on-time graduation of  the  student  in  accordance  with
  subdivisions one and two of this section.
2023 New York Laws › EDN - Education › Title 4 - Teachers and Pupils › Article 66 - Interstate Compact on Educational Oppurtunity for Military Children › 3308 - State Coordination.

  creation of a state council or use of an existing body or board, provide
  for the coordination among its agencies of government, local educational
  agencies and military installations concerning the state's participation
  in,  and  compliance  with,  this  compact  and  interstate   commission
  activities.   In   New   York,  the  state  council  shall  include  the

  interstate commission shall promulgate  reasonable  rules  in  order  to
  effectively  and  efficiently  achieve  the  purposes  of  this compact.
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event  the  interstate  commission
  exercises  its rulemaking authority in a manner that is beyond the scope
  of the purposes of this article, or conflicts with the laws of a  member
  state,  or  the  powers  granted  hereunder,  then such an action by the
  interstate commission shall be invalid and have no force or effect.
2.  Rules  shall  be  made  pursuant  to  a  rulemaking  process  that
  substantially   conforms  to  section  two  hundred  two  of  the  state
  administrative procedure act as may be appropriate to the operations  of
  the interstate commission.
3.  Not later than thirty days after a rule is promulgated, any person
  may file a petition for judicial review of the rule; provided, that  the
  filing  of  such a petition shall not stay or otherwise prevent the rule
  from becoming effective unless the court finds that the petitioner has a
  substantial likelihood of success. The court shall give deference to the
  actions of the interstate commission consistent with applicable law  and
  shall  not  find  the  rule  to  be  unlawful  if  the rule represents a
  reasonable exercise of the interstate commission's authority.
4. If a majority of the legislatures of the compacting states  rejects
  a  rule  by enactment of a statute or resolution in the same manner used
  to adopt the compact, then such rule shall have  no  further  force  and
  effect in any compacting state.

  interstate commission, which shall promulgate a rule  binding  upon  all
  member states.
3.  The  interstate commission shall not incur obligations of any kind
  prior to securing the funds adequate to meet the  same;  nor  shall  the

§ 3624. Drivers,  monitors  and  attendants.  The  commissioner  shall
  determine  and  define  the  qualifications  of  drivers,  monitors  and
  attendants  and  shall  make  the  rules  and  regulations governing the
  operation of all transportation facilities used by  pupils  which  rules
  and regulations shall include, but not be limited to, a maximum speed of
  fifty-five   miles  per  hour  for  school  vehicles  engaged  in  pupil
  transportation  that  are  operated  on  roads,  interstates  or   other
  highways, parkways or bridges or portions thereof that have posted speed
  limits  in excess of fifty-five miles per hour, prohibitions relating to
  smoking, eating and drinking and any and all other acts or conduct which
  would  otherwise  impair  the  safe  operation  of  such  transportation
  facilities  while  actually  being used for the transport of pupils. The
  employment of each driver, monitor and attendant shall  be  approved  by
  the  chief school administrator of a school district for each school bus
  operated within his or her district. For the purpose of determining  his
  or  her  physical  fitness,  each  driver,  monitor and attendant may be
  examined on order of the chief school administrator by a  duly  licensed
  physician  within  two  weeks  prior to the beginning of service in each
  school year as a school bus driver, monitor or attendant. The report  of
  the  physician,  in  writing,  shall  be  considered by the chief school
  administrator in determining the fitness of the  driver  to  operate  or
  continue  to operate any transportation facilities used by pupils and in
  determining the fitness of any monitor or attendant to carry out his  or
  her functions on such transportation facilities. Nothing in this section
  shall  prohibit a school district from imposing a more restrictive speed
  limit policy for the operation  of  school  vehicles  engaged  in  pupil
  transportation   than   the   speed  limit  policy  established  by  the
  commissioner.

  railroad tracks at grade except at a guarded railroad  crossing,  unless
  the  governing  body  of  the  school district which operates the bus or
  contracts for the operation of the bus shall have adopted, at a  regular
  meeting  after  a public hearing thereon, a resolution by which it shall
  have determined that the use of a route which would avoid  an  unguarded
  railroad crossing by the school bus would be impracticable.
A  copy  of  any resolution adopted pursuant to the provisions of this
  section shall  be  filed  with  the  department  of  education  and  the
  department  of transportation at their respective offices in the city of
  Albany.

  crew disembarks from the train which has stopped before the crossing and
  positions  himself  at  the  crossing  to  halt  traffic while the train
  passes. Such  procedure  must  be  in  accordance  with  the  rules  and
  regulations promulgated by the department of transportation.
c.  Any  railroad  crossing  protected  by an automatic warning signal
  which  meets  the  specifications  in  the  rules  and  regulations   as

  shall make such map available for inspection  by  any  resident  of  the
  district at a place designated by the governing body of the district.
4.   The  commissioner  of  education  shall  have  the  authority  to
  promulgate such regulations as he shall deem  appropriate  to  implement

  requiring school districts to minimize, to the extent  practicable,  the
  idling  of  the  engine  of  any  school  bus, as defined in section one
  hundred forty-two of the vehicle and traffic  law,  and  other  vehicles
  owned  or  leased  by  the  school district while such bus or vehicle is

  requirement  that  the engines of all school buses and vehicles owned or
  leased by the school district be turned off while waiting for passengers
  to load or off load on  school  grounds.  When  necessary  for  heating,
  mechanical  or emergency circumstances, the regulations may allow idling
  to the extent necessary to achieve such purpose. Provided, however, that
  such regulations shall not conflict with  applicable  state  regulations
  and local laws.
3. School districts shall be required to annually provide their school
  personnel  with  notice  of  the  provisions  of  this  section, and the
  regulations promulgated pursuant to this section  by  the  commissioner.
