An Act supporting families of students with disabilities
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require school districts to reimburse parents and guardians who transport their children with disabilities to and from school. The reimbursement covers the prevailing rate per mile for driving and the state minimum wage for the time spent, limited to the round-trip distance for school attendance and extracurricular activities. The legislation also clarifies that no parent or guardian is obligated to provide this transportation.
