A. The board of supervisors of each county shall
annually budget for the special county school reserve fund an amount to meet
the requirements of that fund. Warrants drawn on the special county school
reserve fund shall be approved prior to payment by the board of supervisors, as
other county warrants are approved, or this responsibility may be delegated by
the board of supervisors to the county school superintendent. The
budgeted amounts for the special county school reserve fund shall be itemized and
estimated to meet the following needs:
1. For transportation of school children to and from
one‑room and two‑room rural schools that are determined by the
county school superintendent to be in need of such aid.
2. For transportation to and from unorganized
territory to school districts of children who are eligible to receive state
aid.
3. For transportation to and from the nearest high
school of pupils residing in common school districts which are contiguous or
not contiguous to and which are not within a high school district if it is
determined by the county school superintendent that such common school
districts are in need of such aid to supplement the monies received as provided
in subsection B of this section.
4. For one‑room and two‑room school districts,
an amount which when added to the state aid for a school district will provide
not more than five thousand dollars for a one‑room school and not more
than nine thousand dollars for a two‑room school, provided that such
schools are maintained for a minimum of one hundred seventy‑five days or
two hundred days, as applicable, per year.
5. For necessary expenses as determined by the school board established pursuant to
section 15-308, subsection D for the establishment and conduct of
accommodation schools pursuant to section 15‑308.
6. For expenditures necessary to establish and
maintain, for the first year of operation, a county special education program
for children with disabilities as provided in chapter 7, article 4 of this
title.
B. The county school superintendent shall determine
the eligibility for transportation aid for the transportation of children from
unorganized territory to school districts within that county in the manner
provided in this chapter for other school districts and shall certify the
eligibility to the department of education.
C. The county school superintendent shall determine
the amount of transportation aid for transportation of children from
unorganized territory to school districts within that county based upon the provisions
of section 15‑945, subsection A, paragraphs 1 and 2, except that such
transportation aid shall not exceed the actual cost of providing such
transportation. The county school superintendent shall certify the
amount to the department of
education which shall apportion the
monies no later than the second Monday in September, December, March and June.”
