AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to provide transportation reimbursement for students who attend a vocational school outside their district of residence, as long as the student's hometown is not part of a regional vocational school district or does not have its own vocational school. Eligible students must qualify for free or reduced-cost lunches under federal guidelines. The reimbursement program, which is subject to appropriation, will cover transportation costs for school buses, parent/guardian transport, and public transportation. The bill also requires the Board of Education to develop and administer the reimbursement program, and to disseminate information about its availability to parents and school systems.
