Bill > S637

This bill amends existing law to limit the transportation costs for school districts that send students to county vocational school districts located outside of their own county. Specifically, it states that the sending school district is responsible for transporting these students, but only if the lowest bid for transportation does not exceed a certain per-pupil cost, which is determined by a specific section of law (C.18A:39-1a). If the transportation bid exceeds this cost, the parent or guardian of the student becomes eligible to receive an amount equal to that determined cost towards the transportation expenses. This change aims to cap the financial burden on sending districts for out-of-county vocational school transportation.
