Requires the Department of Education to conduct a study to identify methods for assisting school districts that are required to provide transportation to students who do not live in district boundaries.

AI Summary
This bill directs the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) to conduct a comprehensive study focusing on student transportation challenges for school districts that must transport students living outside their geographical boundaries, particularly when legally required to maintain a student's original school placement. The study will examine methods to reduce administrative and financial burdens for school districts, explore strategies for providing individual transportation to students, and analyze attendance data for students transported across district lines. The department is required to submit a report with potential legislative recommendations to the education-related interim legislative committees by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study requirement will automatically be repealed on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited initiative. The goal appears to be understanding and potentially alleviating the financial and logistical challenges faced by school districts when they must provide transportation to students who live outside their traditional service area.
