  children residing in a school district in the village of Tuckahoe

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-

  Section  1.  Paragraphs a, b and e of subdivision 1 of section 3635 of
the education law, paragraph a as amended by section 11  of  part  A  of

attend and for all children attending grades  nine  through  twelve  who

VILLAGE  OF  TUCKAHOE,  the distances in each case being measured by the
nearest available route from home to school. The cost of providing  such
transportation between two or three miles, as the case may be, and SEVEN
