AI Summary
This bill would require school districts to provide transportation for children and youth experiencing homelessness, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. The Commonwealth would reimburse the districts for the cost of this transportation, minus any federal funding received to cover the excess cost. The state treasurer would annually pay the approved 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 from the Commonwealth can be deposited and carried forward for one fiscal year.
