Revises mileage limit for mandatory school transportation for students in preschool through grade four.
This bill revises the mandatory school transportation requirement for preschool through fourth-grade students in New Jersey. It changes the current 1.5-mile distance limit (where school districts must provide bus transportation) to a new, unspecified threshold. The policy directly affects families with young children living beyond the revised distance from their public school. School districts would no longer be required to provide transportation for students living within this new limit, shifting responsibility to families for those living closer. The bill focuses solely on adjusting the mileage threshold for transportation eligibility, without altering costs or other provisions.
