PAG LIN 1 1 Section 1. Section 282.18, subsection 10, Code 2001, is 1 2 amended to read as follows: 1 3 10. Notwithstanding section 285.1 relating to 1 4 transportation of nonresident pupils, the parent or guardian 1 5 is responsible for transporting the pupil without 1 6 reimbursement to and from a point on a regular school bus 1 7 route of the receiving district. However, a receiving 1 8 district may send school vehicles into the district of 1 9 residence of the pupil using the open enrollment option under 1 10 this section, for the purpose of transporting the pupil to and 1 11 from school in the receiving district, if the boards of both1 12the sending and receiving districts agree to this arrangement. 1 13 If the pupil meets the economic eligibility requirements 1 14 established by the department and state board of education, 1 15 the sending district is responsible for providing 1 16 transportation or paying the pro rata cost of the 1 17 transportation to a parent or guardian for transporting the 1 18 pupil to and from a point on a regular school bus route of a 1 19 contiguous receiving district unless the cost of providing 1 20 transportation or the pro rata cost of the transportation to a 1 21 parent or guardian exceeds the average transportation cost per 1 22 pupil transported for the previous school year in the 1 23 district. If the cost exceeds the average transportation cost 1 24 per pupil transported for the previous school year, the 1 25 sending district shall only be responsible for that average 1 26 per pupil amount. A sending district which provides 1 27 transportation for a pupil to a contiguous receiving district 1 28 under this subsection may withhold from the district cost per 1 29 pupil amount, that is to be paid to the receiving district, an 1 30 amount which represents the average or pro rata cost per pupil 1 31 for transportation, whichever is less. 1 32 Sec. 2. Section 285.9, subsection 3, is amended by 1 33 striking the subsection. 1 34 EXPLANATION 1 35 This bill permits a receiving district to send a school 2 1 vehicle into the school district of residence to transport a 2 2 pupil participating in open enrollment to the receiving 2 3 district. The bill strikes a provision directing the area 2 4 education agencies to approve all bus routes outside the 2 5 boundary of the district of the school operating buses. 2 6 LSB 5989SS 79 2 7 kh/sh/8.1
