HB 425 -- Student Transportation Sponsor: Pearce This bill specifies the conditions under which it is permissible for a public school district to provide transportation to resident students who do not attend the district's public schools. If transportation can be accomplished without the use of state or additional local funds or capital expense and the parent agrees to pay the actual cost of transporting the student, the local school board may provide the transportation. The bill also specifies how to determine the cost and the payment requirements. Any district providing this transportation must develop rules to address the seating of non-public school students and the development of bus routes. Local school boards may establish additional rules for eligibility.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
