Washington SB5187 aims to create a comprehensive funding model for student transportation, addressing the unique needs of various student populations.

Washington SB5187 seeks to address the inadequate funding for student transportation by directing the office of the superintendent of public instruction to gather and analyze student transportation data. The bill aims to develop a transparent, predictable, and comprehensive funding model that considers the diverse needs of students, including those requiring special education services, experiencing homelessness, in foster care, and attending skill centers. The new model will also account for the unique challenges faced by rural and high population density urban districts.
