Pennsylvania HB2491 amends transportation provisions for public and charter school students.

HB2491 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to revise transportation provisions for public and charter school students. It mandates that school districts provide free transportation for students attending nonpublic schools not operated for profit, provided the school is within ten miles. The bill also requires districts to provide transportation to charter schools within or outside the district boundaries. It specifies that no student in kindergarten through grade six should be transported via common carriers.
