AI Summary

This bill amends Section 89 of Chapter 71 of the General Laws to provide for school transportation parity. It requires that students residing in the school district where a charter school is located be provided transportation to the charter school on similar terms and conditions as transportation to local district schools, if requested by the charter school. The bill also outlines cost-sharing responsibilities between the charter school and the sending district, and limits the district's transportation costs to days when both the district and charter schools are in session. Additionally, the bill specifies that charter schools shall not receive funds for transportation above the actual costs required, and that transportation costs shall be included only for students in the same program and grade level as those in the charter school.
