HB 3447 requires Oklahoma school districts to provide transportation to child care facilities within their boundaries for children attending district schools, but only if the facility is located on an existing school bus route. It allows multiple districts to form agreements to share this transportation service. The bill mandates that any costs for this additional transportation must be covered by the children using the service or private sources, and explicitly prohibits these expenses from being added to school district budgets. This policy directly affects school districts, child care facilities, and families utilizing the service, shifting transportation costs away from public school finances.
