AI Summary
This bill aims to improve school operational efficiency in Massachusetts. It increases the procurement threshold for municipal and regional school districts from $50,000 to $100,000, allowing them more flexibility in purchasing supplies and services. The bill also allows school districts to establish a School Transportation Reimbursement Fund to deposit and carry forward reimbursements from the state for school transportation costs. Additionally, it permits payments to be made for school travel prior to the date of travel and for software licenses, maintenance, and subscriptions before the fiscal year in which the services will be rendered. Finally, the bill requires the Registry of Motor Vehicles to act on school bus driver license applications within 14 days.
