Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the student's claim for free school transport because the city correctly determined that costs from a weekend accident fall outside its compensation obligations. The city argued that since the Finnish Constitution does not mandate transport for such temporary mobility issues, the school board was not required to provide it. The court upheld this position, ruling that the city's refusal was lawful given the absence of a constitutional or statutory duty to cover these specific expenses.

Constitution Act 16 § 1; Basic Education Act 32 § 1: The municipality is not obligated to provide free school transport for students whose temporary mobility difficulties stem from accidents occurring during leisure time, as such costs are not covered by the municipality's compensation liability.

Hallinto-oikeuden ratkaistavana oli kysymys siitä, oliko kaupunki voinut jättää perusopetuslain 34 §:n perusteella järjestämättä maksuttoman koulukuljetuksen perusopetuksessa olevalle oppilaalle, jonka kuljetustarve johtui vapaa-ajalla sattuneesta tapaturmasta.

X:n kaupunki ei ollut myöntänyt maksutonta koulukuljetusta oppilaalle, jonka kuljetustarve oli johtunut vapaa-ajalla tapahtuneesta tapaturmasta aiheutuneista tilapäisistä liikkumisvaikeuksista. Tämä oli perustunut siihen, että kun perusopetuslain 34 §:n mukaan vapaa-ajalla sattuneen tapaturman hoitokustannukset eivät ole kaupungin korvausvelvollisuuden piirissä, eivät myöskään tapaturmasta aiheutuvat muut kustannukset, kuten matkakustannukset, ole kaupungin korvattavia.
