AI Summary

This bill requires school districts to provide transportation for children and youth experiencing homelessness, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The Commonwealth will reimburse school districts for the cost of providing this transportation, minus any federal allocations received to cover the excess costs. The state treasurer will annually pay the reimbursement amounts to the school districts, subject to appropriation. The bill also allows school districts to establish a Homeless Children and Youth School Transportation Reimbursement Fund, where the reimbursements can be deposited and carried forward for one fiscal year to immediately cover the transportation costs.
