Section 6.42.2.10 - NON-REIMBURSABLE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

A. Students who attend an out-of-district school as a matter of choice are not eligible to be counted for the transportation distribution of the public school fund. Such students shall be counted on the fortieth day as non-eligible riders.

B. Districts shall establish local policies governing the transportation of non-eligible students who live outside the district boundaries. Any such policies shall be in accordance with applicable state and federal law and regulations.

C. Districts who, by local policy, elect to provide transportation services to ineligible students who live outside the district's boundaries, shall do so at no additional cost to the school transportation fund. Such students may board the bus at the last legal stop on an approved route if space is available. Additional services or equipment shall not be added to accommodate non-eligible students. Non-eligible students will not generate funding through the transportation formula.
