Bill > A616

Introduced Session

This bill changes the date by which a school district is required to notify the parent or guardian of a nonpublic school student and the nonpublic school, of the district's determination on the manner in which transportation services will be provided to the pupil. According to State Board of Education regulations, this notification is to occur by August 1 prior to the beginning of the school year. The bill changes the notification date to July 15. The bill also concerns the use of cooperative transportation services for the provision of pupil transportation and makes reference to the August 1 date. Finally, the bill specifies that nothing in the bill is to prohibit a school district from, prior to the July 15 notification date, preliminarily informing a nonpublic school and the parent or guardian of a nonpublic school pupil that the costs to provide transportation on a per pupil basis are likely to be greater than the maximum per pupil aid in-lieu-of transportation payment amount for the school year.
