Transportation Fees   

arrow Previous bar Next arrow

Because the cost of providing student transportation exceeds funding provided by the state, the Governing Board finds it necessary to charge fees for home-to-school student transportation.

The Board shall certify to the County Superintendent that the district has levied fees in accordance with 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 any transportation of students who are handicapped, who receive special education, or whose parents/guardians are determined indigent pursuant to administrative regulations.
