If your child wants to attend the Tuesday 4:00 PM class at Sensei Sandy BJJ, there may be a path to request after-school transportation from Hunter Elementary to the gym. In New York, a school board may, at its discretion, provide transportation for K to 8 students between the school they legally attend and a before-school or after-school child care location inside the district. The law also says this kind of transportation is not automatic, and it does not create a duty for every district to provide it in every case. (NYSenate.gov)
That means the right first move is simple: make a parent request directly to Hunter-Tannersville Central School District Transportation and ask what written request or form they need for Tuesday after-school drop-off to Sensei Sandy BJJ at 6045 Main St. The district staff directory lists Karen Schrader as Interim Transportation Supervisor at 518-589-5400 ext. 1005. (Hunter-Tannersville CSD)
Hunter Elementary's official site lists the school at 7794 Main Street in Hunter, which helps parents describe the exact school-to-program route they are requesting. (Hunter-Tannersville CSD)
What New York law says in plain English
The part of New York Education Law that matters here says a board of education may provide transportation for children in grades K through 8 between school and before-school or after-school child care locations. It describes those locations as places, other than the child's home, where care is provided on a regular basis for less than 24 hours a day, and it says the location must be within the school district. The law also says parents may request this transportation in writing, usually by April 1 for the next school year, and that a late request cannot be denied when the parent gives a reasonable explanation for the delay. (NYSenate.gov)
So the practical takeaway is this: parents can ask the district whether it will honor a Tuesday after-school transportation request to Sensei Sandy BJJ under the district's rules. The district makes that decision. This is a transportation request, not a promise of automatic approval. (NYSenate.gov)
Who to contact
Call HTC Transportation:

What to say on the phone
Use this:
"Hi, I'd like to ask about the process for requesting Tuesday after-school transportation from Hunter Elementary to Sensei Sandy BJJ, 6045 Main St, for my child. What form or written request do you need from me, and is there anything you need from the program?"
What to have ready
Have these details in front of you:
- Your child's name
- School: Hunter Elementary
- Requested day: Tuesday
- Requested drop-off location: Sensei Sandy BJJ
- Address: 6045 Main St
- Class time: 4:00 PM
- Your phone and email
- Any explanation for why the request is being made now, if it is a late request
That last point matters because New York law says late transportation requests should still be considered when the parent provides a reasonable explanation for the delay. (NYSenate.gov)
What Sensei Sandy BJJ can provide
If the district asks for program details, Sensei Sandy BJJ can quickly provide:
- Business name and address
- Tuesday class time
- Confirmation that an adult will be present for arrival and handoff
- A simple safe arrival routine for students entering the space
This helps the request move faster because the district can see there is a clear after-school handoff plan.
If the request is not approved yet
No problem.
Your child can stay in the 5:00 PM Tuesday class while the transportation request is being reviewed. That gives families a workable path now without losing training time.
