(1) Except
as otherwise provided in subsection (1.5) of this section, for financial aid in providing
pupil transportation, for entitlement periods ending on June 30, 1988, and
thereafter, each school district, the state charter school institute, and each facility
school shall have a reimbursement entitlement in an amount determined as follows:

(a) Thirty-seven and eighty-seven one-hundredths cents for each mile
traveled by vehicles operated by or for the school district, the institute, or the
facility school in providing pupil transportation during the entitlement period. The
number of miles traveled shall be determined by the state board of education based
upon information submitted pursuant to section 22-51-105.

(b) Thirty-three and eighty-seven one-hundredths percent of any amount by
which the school district's, the institute's, or the facility school's current operating
expenditures for pupil transportation during the entitlement period exceeded the
school district's, institute's, or facility school's reimbursement entitlement under
the provisions of paragraph (a) of this subsection (1); and

(c) Not more than sixty percent of the costs of contracts entered into by a
school district pursuant to section 22-32-110 (1)(w) or entered into by the state
charter school institute or a facility school for the purpose of conserving fuel or
reducing operating or capital expenditures, or both, for pupil transportation under
public transportation programs which comply with the code of federal regulations,
title 49, parts 390 to 397, or successor regulations thereto. Reimbursement
entitlements under this paragraph (c) shall not be greater than those the school
district, the institute, or the facility school would otherwise receive if it operated its
own vehicles or contracted for the exclusive transportation of pupils.

(1.5) (a) Repealed.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, for
entitlement periods ending on June 30, 1989, and thereafter, a school district, the
state charter school institute, and a facility school shall not receive a
reimbursement entitlement in an amount which is less than its reimbursement
entitlement for the preceding entitlement period. For purposes of this paragraph
(b), the reimbursement entitlement for the preceding entitlement period shall be
the amount to which the school district, the institute, or the facility school would
have been entitled under the formula in subsection (1) of this section, and not the
amount it actually received for the preceding entitlement period, if different from
the amount under said formula.

(2) In no event shall the reimbursement entitlement of a school district, the
institute, or a facility school under the provisions of subsection (1) of this section for
any entitlement period exceed ninety percent of the total amount expended by the
school district, the institute, or the facility school during said entitlement period for
current operating expenditures for pupil transportation.

(3) For financial aid in providing board allowances in lieu of transportation,
each school district and the institute shall have a reimbursement entitlement for an
entitlement period for each pupil who is temporarily residing during said
entitlement period for the purpose of attending school at a place nearer the school
of attendance than the student's permanent residence, and for whom the district or
the institute has paid a board allowance in lieu of furnishing transportation, in the
amount of one dollar for each day such board was paid by the district or the
institute.
