Counties Explore Transportation Costs Below Eight Dollars Per Unit
The article outlines a state plan to fund six months of school term transportation with a minimum budget for counties, allowing some to reduce terms if costs fall under eight dollars per unit. Counties may spend more to extend term length or hire staff, provided extra ad valorem tax levies are approved by the county boards, commissioners, and the state board of equalization, and shown on tax receipts. The Senate adopted amendments clarifying the bill, including removing a proposed exemption from workers compensation for teachers and ensuring state coverage of insurance costs.
