Bill Summary
Under current law, a school district is required to provide transportation to elementary school students who live more than two miles from their public school of attendance and to high school students who live more than two and one-half miles from their public school of attendance. This bill would amend current law to require a school district to provide transportation to students in elementary school and high school who live more than one and one-half miles from their public school of attendance. The change in the mileage limitation also impacts nonpublic school students who reside in school districts that are required to provide pupil transportation. The bill also amends the transportation eligibility criteria under the "Interdistrict Public School Choice Program Act" to align with the mileage change made by the bill.
