HCS HB 304 -- SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES (Schad)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Committee on Elementary and Secondary
Education

This substitute specifies the meaning of "significant difference
in the time involved in transporting students" for purposes of
elections to change school district boundaries as a difference of
one hour or more per trip in travel time.  "Travel time" will
mean the period of time needed to transport a student from his or
her residence or other designated pickup point to the student's
school.  The substitute removes a provision that requires a board
of arbitration to grant a boundary change when the area that
wants to change is located in an unaccredited district and the
receiving district is fully accredited.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2010, FY 2011, and
FY 2012.
