Council Member Rita C. Joseph inquires about transportation contracts and associated costs for Summer Rising. DOE officials provide information on busing arrangements and expenses.
- All transportation contracts are through New York City Public Schools
- The overall cost of busing for the last summer was approximately $100 million
- Some contracts are summer-specific, while others are extensions of school year contracts
- Officials unable to provide the exact number of contracts for the summer specifically
- Both summer-specific and school year contract extensions have the same rigidity in terms of requirements
