New Jersey A1197 requires the State to cover partial transportation costs for homeless students.

New Jersey A1197 mandates the State to cover partial transportation costs for homeless students. Specifically, when a homeless child attends school in a district other than their residence, the district of residence must pay tuition and transportation costs. However, if the child has resided in a shelter for over a year, the State will cover transportation costs exceeding the district's average per pupil cost.
