An Act fairly reimbursing local school transportation of foster children

This bill requires Massachusetts school districts to be reimbursed for transportation costs when moving foster children to their school of origin (determined to be in the child's best interest). The state's education and children's departments must apply to the federal government for reimbursement under the Every Student Succeeds Act, using a state-certified cost form. If federal funds don't cover all costs, the state department must reimburse the remaining amount directly to the school district. It directly affects school districts providing transportation for foster youth and ensures they aren't left bearing these costs.
