Brentwood school district proposes nearly $1 million in transportation for two child-safety zones
BRENTWOOD, NY — The Brentwood Union Free School District proposed adding transportation for students who live in two designated child-safety zones and attend Brentwood High School or the Brentwood Freshman Campus. The proposed service would begin with the 2026-2027 school year if authorized.
The district included the transportation measures in its 2026 budget and election materials. The public notice does not establish that the propositions were approved, and it does not provide a final vote tally.
Estimated cost approaches $1 million
The district estimated that transportation for the Freshman Campus zone would cost $120,519.17 annually. Transportation for the Brentwood High School zone was estimated at $843,634.19 per year.
Together, the two proposed services have an estimated annual cost of $964,153.36. Those figures are estimates rather than a confirmed final cost.
If approved and implemented, the proposal would provide district transportation instead of requiring students in the specified areas to walk through the designated child-safety zones. The notice does not say that every student living in the described areas would automatically qualify; eligibility and implementation details remain unspecified in the approved materials.
Two areas are identified by street boundaries
The first child-safety zone is bounded by Pine Aire Drive and 13th Avenue, Stein Drive, Cecil Avenue and Inchcape Road.
The second zone is bounded by Jackson Street, Pennsylvania Avenue, Eisenhower Avenue and Suffolk Avenue.
The notice identifies the schools affected by the two propositions but does not provide route schedules, bus stops or pickup locations.
What happens next
The proposed transportation is tied to the 2026-2027 school year. The approved source packet does not include a later implementation notice confirming whether voters authorized the services or explaining when routes would be finalized.
The Brentwood Union Free School District is headquartered at 52 Third Avenue in Brentwood. A 2025 district notice confirms the district’s continuing focus on student safety, but it does not add implementation details for these transportation propositions.
For families in the two designated zones, the practical question remains whether the measures received authorization and, if so, which students and stops would be covered. Those details are not included in the public notice reviewed for this report.
