This bill amends section 79-1129 of the Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska to update provisions regarding transportation expenses for children with disabilities. The key changes include the removal of the requirement for transportation expenses to be provided "within the school district" and the insertion of language specifying that transportation expenses apply to children with disabilities "enrolled in the school district." This adjustment clarifies that transportation support is available for children who may need to attend facilities outside their normal school due to their disabilities or the need for special transportation.

Additionally, the bill maintains the existing provisions for compensating parents or guardians who transport children with disabilities, ensuring they are reimbursed at the mileage rate for actual miles traveled. It also retains options for providing visiting teachers, correspondence instruction, or other approved methods of instruction for children with disabilities. The original section 79-1129 is repealed as part of this legislative update.
