Bill Summary

Relative to the transportation of regional vocational school students. Education.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 68 of Chapter 71 of the General Laws to allow regional vocational schools to assess a transportation fee to students they transport, but exempts students who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch under the federal school lunch program from having to pay the fee. This change provides regional vocational schools with the flexibility to recoup the costs they incur for transporting students, while also ensuring that students from lower-income families are not burdened with the transportation fee.
