New York Court of Appeals November 1, 1995 (Chainani v. Board of Education)

*377

OPINION OF THE COURT

Chief Judge Kaye.

The common issues in these combined appeals center on whether public schools that have contracted for transportation services with independent bus companies should be liable for injuries to students which occur between a child’s home and the bus stop. In each case, we resolve these issues in favor of the school defendant, as did the Appellate Division.
