Provides for transportation after 4pm by school districts in Sullivan county
This bill mandates that school districts in Sullivan County provide or reimburse for transportation for eligible students after 4 PM, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year. It affects public and nonpublic school students in grades K-12 who attend school until at least 4 PM and live a specified distance from their school (over two miles for K-8, over three miles for 9-12, up to 15 miles). School districts can either directly provide the transportation or reimburse licensed carriers, and these expenditures are eligible for state transportation aid. Districts are not required to incur costs beyond the amount of aid they receive, and must provide services equitably within that limit.
