Bill > A4416

Introduced Session

This bill allows a resident school district to provide annual payments in-lieu-of transportation to the parents of certain county vocational school district pupils. Under current law, a school district is required to provide transportation for any pupil who resides within the school district, attends a county vocational school district, and lives more than two and one-half miles from the county vocational school. Under this bill, a school district would not be required to provide transportation to these county vocational school district pupils. The bill instead provides that when a pupil attends a county vocational school district, and the pupil lives more than two and one-half miles from the school, then the school district of residence may, at its discretion, either (1) provide the pupil with transportation, or (2) provide the parent, guardian, or other person having legal custody of the pupil with an aid-in-lieu of transportation payment. The provisions of this bill would also apply to pupils attending the Marine Academy of Science and Technology, which is administered by the Monmouth County Vocational School District.
