79-1007.22. New learning community transportation adjustment; application; department; powers.

(1) For state aid calculated for each of the second and third full school fiscal years of a new learning community, each member school district may apply to the department for a new learning community transportation adjustment, on a form prescribed by the department, on or before October 15 of the school fiscal year immediately preceding the school fiscal year for which the new learning community transportation adjustment would be included in the calculation of state aid. Such form shall require evidence supporting estimates of increased transportation costs for the district due to the provisions of subsection (2) of section 79-611. On or before the immediately following December 1, the department shall approve the estimate of increased transportation costs for use in the adjustment, approve a modified estimate of increased transportation costs for use in the adjustment, or deny the application based on the requirements of this section, the evidence submitted on the application, and any other information provided by the department. The state board shall establish procedures for appeal of decisions of the department to the state board for final determination.

(2) The new learning community transportation adjustment shall equal the approved estimate of increased transportation costs due to the provisions of subsection (2) of section 79-611. School districts shall submit evidence of the actual increase in transportation costs due to the provisions of subsection (2) of section 79-611, and the department shall recalculate the adjustment using such actual costs pursuant to section 79-1065.
