AI Summary

This bill requires school districts to provide transportation for children and youth experiencing homelessness, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts will reimburse the school districts for the cost of this transportation, minus any federal funding allocated to the districts for this purpose. The state treasurer will make these reimbursement payments to the school districts annually, subject to appropriation. The bill also allows school districts to establish a Homeless Children and Youth School Transportation Reimbursement Fund, into which the Commonwealth's reimbursement payments can be deposited and carried forward for one fiscal year.
