SCH CD-STATE CHARTER TRANSPORT

Amends the Transportation Article of the School Code. In provisions claiming reimbursement by the State for transportation, provides that, for a State-authorized charter school, the State will pay the prorated allowable cost of transporting eligible pupils less the prior year prorated assessed valuation based on enrollment reported for the previous academic year in a State-authorized charter school proportionate to the State-authorized charter school's local school board's district enrollment for the previous academic year. Provides that a State-authorized charter school's qualifying rate shall be the same as the rate that applies to State-authorized charter school's local school board's district. Provides that if a State-authorized charter school does not have a Transportation Fund tax rate of at least .12% based upon the tax rate of its local school board's district, the State-authorized charter school shall be eligible to receive a reimbursement based on the proportion of students enrolled in the State-authorized charter school compared with the local school board's district enrollment.
