Overview
This bill changes how school boards award transportation contracts for students with disabilities. It requires boards to select the ‘most appropriate’ bidder, rather than the lowest, considering factors like price and a transportation meeting. Before awarding a contract, boards must hold a meeting with the student’s parent, case manager, and the potential vendor to discuss the student’s specific transportation needs. This ensures the chosen vendor can adequately meet those needs as outlined in the student’s individualized education program.
