SB2250 amends the School Code to provide guidelines for the transportation of pupils in Illinois, particularly focusing on reimbursement for school districts and charter schools. The bill mandates that school districts provide free transportation for pupils attending prekindergarten through grade 12 who reside more than 1.5 miles from their assigned school or where walking poses a serious safety hazard. It outlines the allowable costs for transportation, including salaries, benefits, and maintenance, and sets a reimbursement rate based on the district's real equalized assessed valuation.
