AI Summary

This bill requires school districts to provide transportation for homeless children and youth, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The Commonwealth will reimburse the school districts for the cost of this transportation, minus any federal allocations to cover the excess cost.

The bill also allows school districts to establish a Homeless Children and Youth School Transportation Reimbursement Fund to deposit the reimbursements, which may be carried forward for one fiscal year.
