§ 18a:39-1.
Whenever the governing body of a municipality finds that for safety reasons it is
desirable to provide transportation to and from a school for pupils living within
the municipality, other than those living remote from the school or those with a physical or intellectual disability, the governing body and the board of education of the district
are authorized to enter into a contract pursuant to P.L.2007, c. 63 ( C.40A:65-1 et al.) , under the terms of which the board shall provide such transportation. Any funds required to be paid by the municipality to the board of education under
such a contract shall be appropriated by the governing body and paid to the secretary
or treasurer of school moneys, as appropriate, of the district. The governing body of the municipality may charge the parents or guardians of children
who are transported for safety reasons in order to help defray expenses, provided
that no charge shall be imposed on the parent or guardian of any child who meets the
Statewide eligibility standards established by the State Board of Education for free
and reduced price meals under the State school lunch program. The amount of any charges and the method of collection shall be specified in the
contract between the municipal governing body and the board of education. Nothing in this section shall prevent a board of education from providing transportation
at its own expense.
