From the meeting
At its October 28, 2026 meeting, the Panel for Educational Policy urged NYC Public Schools (NYCPS) to overhaul yellow school bus service before the current contract extensions expire. The city said the bus contracts, now extended to June 30, 2028, need a full rebid with better performance metrics, air-conditioning, afterschool and Summer Rising coverage, and employee protection provisions (EPPs). The decision is not a solicitation yet, but it signals a future rebid and implementation program tied to service fixes and state law changes.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
