Relative to school transportation. Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends a section of state law to require school districts to provide transportation for students in grades K-12 if the distance between their residence and the school they are entitled to attend exceeds 1/2 mile, there are no sidewalks, and the nearest school bus stop is more than 1/4 mile from their residence. Additionally, if the distance to the student's assigned school exceeds 3 miles, but there is a closer school in an adjoining town providing substantially equivalent instruction, the state department may require the district to pay for tuition and transportation to the nearer school.
