Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Se permitiría que los distritos escolares pequeños conduzcan los autobuses escolares más lejos hacia otro distrito para recoger a los estudiantes que se han transferido mediante el open enrollment. Estos cambios eliminan el límite actual de dos millas sobre qué tan lejos puede viajar un autobús hacia el distrito de origen del estudiante. Esta regla se aplica siempre y cuando la nueva escuela del estudiante esté más cerca de su casa de lo que estaba su antigua escuela.1

This bill relates to the transportation to and from school of pupils participating in open enrollment. Current law provides that a receiving district with a total enrollment of less than 2,000 students may send school vehicles not more than two miles into the district of residence of a pupil who open enrolls if the pupil’s primary residence is closer to the attendance center the pupil attends in the receiving district than the residence is to the attendance center the pupil would be assigned in the sending district. The bill modifies this provision to strike the requirement related to distance traveled, authorizing such a receiving district to send school vehicles into the district of residence of a pupil who open enrolls if the pupil’s primary residence is closer to the attendance center the pupil attends in the receiving district than the residence is to the attendance center the pupil would be assigned in the sending district. Current law also provides that a receiving district with a total enrollment of at least 2,000 students may send school vehicles two miles or more into the district of residence of a pupil who open enrolls, regardless of the distance between the pupil’s primary residence and the attendance center the pupil attends in the receiving district or the attendance center the pupil would be assigned in the sending district, if the total enrollment of the pupil’s district of residence is less than 2,000 students, the pupil’s district of residence is contiguous to the receiving district, and the pupil’s district of residence has sent school vehicles into the receiving district. The bill modifies this provision to strike the requirement related to distance traveled, authorizing such a receiving school district to send school vehicles into the district of residence of a pupil who open enrolls, regardless of the distance between the pupil’s primary residence and the attendance center the pupil attends in the receiving district or the attendance center the pupil would be assigned in the sending district, if the total enrollment of the pupil’s district of residence is less than 2,000 students, the pupil’s district of residence is contiguous to the receiving district, and the pupil’s district of residence has sent school vehicles into the receiving district. Current law authorizes a receiving district to send school vehicles into the district of residence of a pupil who open enrolls, regardless of the distance between the pupil’s primary residence and the attendance center the pupil attends in the receiving district or the attendance center the pupil would be assigned in the sending district, if the boards of directors of both the sending and receiving districts agree to this arrangement. The bill does not affect this provision.
Por qué importa. Los distritos escolares con menos de 2,000 estudiantes ahora pueden enviar vehículos escolares al distrito de origen de un estudiante para brindar transporte a los alumnos de inscripción abierta sin estar limitados por requisitos de millaje específicos. Este cambio se aplica si el hogar del estudiante está más cerca de su nueva escuela que de su escuela original, o si se cumplen ciertas condiciones con respecto al tamaño y la ubicación del distrito.2
