HCS/SB 687 - Currently, school districts are required to allocate 1% of moneys received under the school foundation formula to the professional development committee of the district. Under this act, school districts may, by majority vote of the board, allocate less than 1% but no less than .5% when such district is appropriated less than 25% of the allowable costs of providing pupil transportation under the school foundation formula. A school district may appropriate money in such manner until the end of fiscal year 2024. This provisions is similar to a provision contained in HCS/SB 434 (2017). The act also authorizes the Kansas City Public Schools school board to contract with any municipality, bi-state agency, or other governmental entity to transport high school children. The contract shall be for additional transportation services and shall not replace or fulfill any of the school district's obligations to transport students to and from school. The school district may notify students of the option to use district contracted transportation services. This provision is identical to a provision contained in HCB 23 (2018), SS/SB 704 (2018) and SS#2/SCS/SB 1050 (2018). JAMIE ANDREWS
