Students receiving transportation may be charged a bus transportation fee in an amount not to exceed the actual cost of providing the transportation service. A school board shall establish such fees and shall provide for their collection.B. A city or parish school board may adopt rules and regulations in accordance with this Section under which students other than qualified college students, such as exceptional or vocational-technical students, may be transported. However, the provision of transportation to such other students shall not result in the denial of transportation to an otherwise qualified college student nor result in the increase of the direct cost of buses and salaries and expenses of bus operators incurred by the school board in providing such transportation. Students receiving transportation may be charged a bus transportation fee in an amount sufficient to completely offset the actual cost of providing the transportation service. A school board shall establish such fees and shall provide for their collection.Added by Acts 1975, No. 313, §2, eff. July 17, 1975.
