For legislation to modernize student transportation. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to modernize student transportation in several ways:
1. It repeals Section 7C of Chapter 71 of the General Laws, which likely contained outdated provisions.
2. It requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to maintain a registry of all vendors providing school transportation services, providing more oversight and transparency.
3. It allows parents and guardians to annually decline school transportation for their students, relieving school districts of the obligation to provide transportation for those who opt out.
4. It extends the opt-out provision to regional school districts as well.
5. The bill also directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, in consultation with the Department of Transportation, to conduct a study on student transportation collaboratives and consortiums to determine how such arrangements could benefit school districts.
