AI Summary

This bill requires school districts to continue making payments of benefits, compensation, and emoluments to contractors for school transportation services, even if schools are closed due to a declared emergency. The bill also allows school districts to direct these contractors to provide reasonable services during the closure. Additionally, the bill makes school districts eligible for reimbursement from the Department of Education at the same rate they would have received had the COVID-19 pandemic not occurred, the minimum instruction days requirement not been waived, or the Commissioner not taken certain actions. The bill applies retroactively to contracts and collective bargaining agreements in effect beginning with the 2019-2020 academic year.
