Bill > A3658

This bill requires the State to reimburse school districts for the costs of transporting homeless students to and from school. Under current law, the district of residence is responsible for paying these transportation costs, but this bill mandates that the State, rather than the local district, cover these expenses. The bill also clarifies that for homeless students who have resided in a shelter or transitional facility for more than a year, the State will pay the tuition costs for the student to attend school in the district where the shelter or facility is located.
