Because the cost of providing student
transportation exceeds funding provided by the state,
the Board of Education finds it necessary to charge
student transportation fees.
Proposed transportation fee schedules shall be submitted for
approval by the
Board of Education. Fees shall be determined
based on operating costs and in accordance with the law.
The total amount received for
transportation from the state and parent/guardian
fees shall not exceed the actual operating cost of
home-to-school transportation during the
school year.
No charge shall be made for the transportation of
special education students whose Individual Education Plan
requires transportation due to a disabling
condition or of students whose parents/guardians are determined
indigent pursuant to administrative regulations.
Upon approval of a transportation fee schedule, the Board shall certify to the county
superintendent that the district has levied fees in
accordance with law.
