provision requiring the agent to consider hiring any person whose position was terminated; and 6) Contract between board and independent agent contains stipulation requiring agent to recognize for purposes of employee representation the union which represented the employees at the time of the termination of the positions if a majority of the employees in the bargaining unit agree to the representation and if such representation is legal. In all city, exempted village, and local school districts which have an approved career-technical plan, the district (if the district of residence) must provide transportation from the public high school where the student would have attended to the location of the career-technical program to which the student is assigned. School districts are required to provide transportation “for all children who are so crippled that they are unable to walk to and from the school.” In the event of a dispute as to whether the child is able to walk, “the health commissioner shall be the judge of such ability.” However, a board of education is not required to provide transportation for either elementary or high school students to and from a nonpublic or community school on a Saturday or Sunday unless the board of education had an agreement in place to do so before July 1 preceding the start of the school year. If the transportation would require more than thirty minutes of direct travel time from the public school building to which the pupils would be assigned if attending the public school district, a board of education may offer payment in lieu of transportation. If a board of education declares it impractical to transport, it must notify the department of education. If the parent rejects the payment in lieu of transportation, the parent may request mediation by the department of education and, ultimately, a hearing. The state board of education will ultimately then make the decision. The school district is required to provide the transportation until the matter is resolved either through mediation or through the decision of the state board of education. In the event a community school enters into an agreement with a school district board of education that makes the community school responsible for providing or arranging for transportation of the district's native students to and from the community school, the community school may determine that it is impractical to transport any one pupil to and from school using the same procedure, requirements, and payment structure as a school district uses to determine that it is impractical to transport that pupil. Parents of children enrolled in chartered nonpublic schools and eligible for transportation by the resident school district may decline that transportation in favor of transportation offered by the nonpublic school. The governing authority of the nonpublic school may charge the parent a fee for the transportation, but the fee cannot exceed the per student cost, as determined by the governing authority. However, the offer by the nonpublic school does not relieve the resident school district of its obligation to transport if the parent does not elect the option by the School district must provide transportation for students to non-public and community schools on the same basis as it provides for resident pupils to its own schools.
