New Jersey A500 requires boards of education to award transportation contracts for students with disabilities to the most appropriate bidder.

New Jersey A500 mandates that boards of education award transportation contracts for students with disabilities to the most appropriate bidder, considering factors such as the outcome of a required transportation meeting and the student's individualized education program. The bill also requires boards of education to hold a transportation meeting prior to awarding these contracts, involving the student's parent or guardian, the bidder or vendor, the student's case manager, and school district representatives.
