Enclosure
File Attachment:
Summary: With the recent passage of the ESSA act, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandate to fund student transportation out of a Program Improvement (PI) school to a "non Program Improvement (PI) school" has been eliminated as this category is no longer used.

With the elimination of this mandate, students who were formerly given priority in transfers will no longer have this status. All students who wish to transfer will still be able to participate in the choice process.

During the 2014/15 school year, the district transported 327 students K-8 through No Child Left Behind for a total cost of $541,671.

For the 2015/16 school year, there are 220 students K-8 being transported through No Child Left Behind with the total cost estimated to amount to $471,740.
Funding: N/A
Fiscal Impact
Recommendation: Staff recommends elimination of the current NCLB process of transportation effective July 1, 2016, continue to maintain mandated Special Education transportation, as well as transport students due to school closures.
