AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 71 of the General Laws to require 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 this transportation, minus any federal allocations to defray the excess costs. The state treasurer will make these reimbursement payments annually, subject to appropriation. School districts may also establish a Homeless Children and Youth School Transportation Reimbursement Fund, where the reimbursements from the commonwealth can be deposited and carried forward for one fiscal year.
