Regarding student transportation funding.

Summary

  • Directs the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to develop a new pupil transportation distribution formula, in consultation with a pupil transportation expert consultant, for implementation beginning in the 2009-10 school year.
  • Provides policy guidance for the development of the new formula, with an emphasis on system transparency, efficiency, and data reliability.
  • Requires that, effective September 1, 2009, transportation for extended day programs provided under basic education, special education, learning assistance, and bilingual education programs be funded by the state's pupil transportation funding formula.
