Bill Summary
For legislation to allow school districts to collect a fee associated with nonresident pupil transportation. Education.
AI Summary
This bill allows school districts to collect a fee for providing transportation to non-resident students. The fee structure must be similar to what the home district charges for in-district students, but cannot exceed the highest rate charged by the home district. Students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch under the federal school lunch program are exempt from the fee, and school committees can choose to exempt families at other income levels as well. The bill also specifies that transportation does not need to be provided for any student living within 1.5 miles of the school they attend, or for students who have completed 12th grade or its equivalent.
