HB 1689: Student transp. allocation

Making adjustments to the student transportation allocation system.

Summary

Revises the state's pupil transportation funding formula by basing the salaries used in regression analysis on the total cost of compensation rather than the compensation levels specified in the budget.
Changes the independent variables used in the regression analysis from independent variables for each school district to a statewide independent variable.
Expands the number of districts qualifying for the alternate funding process to include districts whose allocation is less than their prior year transportation expenditures.
Directs the Superintendent of Public Instruction to establish a transportation allocation adjustment process to address districts with unique geographic or other constraints that result in inadequate funding and to cover initial year costs for new district programs.
