An Act to special education transportation reimbursement from 75% to 90%
This bill proposes to increase the state reimbursement rate for special education transportation costs in Massachusetts from 75% to 90%. It directly affects school districts and families by changing how much the state covers for transporting students with disabilities to and from school. The key mechanism involves amending Section 5A of Chapter 71B in the General Laws to explicitly mandate the 90% reimbursement rate. This change would result in districts receiving more state funding for these specific transportation services.
