NEWMARKET — Director of Pupil Services Jean Parsons warned the School Board on Thursday night that a new state law could cost the district hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
The law, SB 300, changes the state's charter school statute and requires a student's resident district to pay to transport special education students when their parents send them to charter schools outside their home district, Parsons said Thursday night.
This is already the law in NJ! SUBCHAPTER 3. CHARTER SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION
6A:27-3.1 General provisions
After attending a workshop yesterday sponsored by New Jersey Association of School Business Officials (NJASBO), representatives from the NJDOE Office of Transportation made it clear that the finacial burden to transport any student attending a Charter School resides with the Public School of Residence, i.e. the taxpayer. Furthermore, it remains the districts reponsibility to attempt to bid the route or pay aid in lieu (AIL) at the established rate of $884.00 for the 2012-13 school year.
The transport must be in accordance with the Charter's school calendar and carrys with it all the rights granted to public education students:
(a) Students in kindergarten through grade eight and preschool students who meet the eligibility requirements defined in N.J.A.C. 6A:27-1.2(a) who reside more than two miles and students in grades nine through 12 who reside more than two and one-half miles from the charter school that they attend are eligible for transportation services.
Many of the same requirements and provisions are in code for tranportation of students attending School Choice programs as well:
SUBCHAPTER 4. SCHOOL CHOICE TRANSPORTATION
6A:27-4.1 General provisions(a) Transportation or aid in lieu of transportation shall be provided pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:39-1 et seq. A choice school shall be considered a public school offering a specialized program.
(b) The transportation of students to and from a choice school shall be the responsibility of the district board of education of the school district in which each student resides.
