Funding increase for pupil transportation

This bill increases funding for school district and charter school transportation by changing how transportation aid is calculated. It requires school districts to receive an adjustment equal to 35-70% of the difference between their actual transportation costs and a formula-based calculation using basic revenue and existing transportation aid. The change applies to fiscal years 2026 and later, directly affecting public school districts and charter schools that receive state transportation funding. The bill also appropriates specific funds for 2026 and 2027 to support this new calculation method.
