Transportation Guidance – transportation shortages, mileage reimbursement and student attendance
If we are being told that busing is unavailable due to a lack of drivers and transportation shortages, is that allowed? In other words, can a district legally state that it cannot provide transportation due to a driver shortage?
If a district is providing mileage reimbursement, are there any stipulations regarding student attendance or punctuality? For example, does the student need to arrive at school on time? Are there any guidelines for situations where a parent is transporting a student and receiving mileage reimbursement, but the student is consistently arriving late?
