Under this bill, if a person had a contract with the Milwaukee Board of School Directors to transport a resident pupil to and from a private school in the 2019-20 school year and the person notifies the board that the person transported a resident pupil to and from a private school during the 2020-21 school year, the board must make a payment to the person in the 2020-21 school year. Under the bill, the amount paid in the 2020-21 school year is the amount the board paid the person under the contract in the 2019-20 year. Under the bill, a person is not eligible for a payment in the 2020-21 school year if the 2019-20 contract was to transport solely a pupil who graduated high school during the 2019-20 school year. Finally, the bill specifies that the board may claim state transportation aid for payments made under the bill.
