Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Transportation Article of the School Code. With respect to the provision of free transportation for pupils, allows a school district to pay the public transit fees of pupils instead (rather than providing an exception for pupils for whom the school board certifies to the State Board of Education that adequate transportation for the public is available). Provides that the school board of a school district in cities of over 500,000 inhabitants shall pay the public transit fees of pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing at a distance of one and one-half miles or more from any school to which they are assigned for attendance maintained within the school district. In provisions allowing for free transportation if conditions are such that walking constitutes a serious hazard, removes the provision specifying that such transportation shall not be provided if adequate transportation for the public is available. Makes related changes.
