AI Summary

This bill requires school districts to continue making payments of benefits, compensation, and emoluments to contractors providing student transportation services, even if the school is closed due to a declared emergency. The payments must be made as if the services had been provided. The bill also allows school districts to renegotiate these contracts in good faith and direct the contractors to provide reasonable alternative services during the closure. Additionally, the bill makes the school districts eligible for reimbursement from the Department of Education for these continued payments, as if the pandemic had not occurred and the minimum instruction days requirement had not been waived.
