Provides supplemental transportation aid to certain districts participating in interdistrict public school choice program.

This bill (S 2758) requires certain choice districts in New Jersey (specifically those in second-class cities under court-ordered desegregation efforts) to provide transportation for public school choice students living more than 2 miles from elementary schools or 2.5 miles from secondary schools. It mandates that sending districts (the districts students come from) receive state transportation aid for these students, which they must then pay directly to the choice district. If the choice district’s actual transportation costs exceed the state aid received, it may qualify for supplemental state reimbursement - provided it uses cost-efficient routes (like centralized pickups) and reports annual cost differences to the Department of Education. The bill aims to cover transportation expenses for students in interdistrict school choice programs without shifting costs to participating districts.
