The district may impose and collect a fee for the payment of excess transportation costs by adoption of a Board resolution, in accordance with state law. Prior to adoption of such Board resolution, the Board shall hold a public meeting to solicit and consider recommendations from, at a minimum, the school district accountability committee or its equivalent; teachers; parents; students; and any statewide or local organization that represents parents, students and teachers within the district. The recommendations shall pertain to whether the Board should impose a transportation fee and to the proposed transportation fee schedule. Public notice of this meeting shall be provided at least 30 days prior to the meeting.
At a meeting held subsequent to the meeting at which the Board hears public comments and recommendations, the Board may adopt a transportation fee schedule and Board resolution to impose such a fee. In imposing any transportation fee, the district shall ensure that only those students who use the district’s transportation services shall be required to pay the fee.
