13-30-2. Elementary and secondary pupils who live within the incorporated limits of a first or

Section 5. That § 13-30-3 be amended to read as follows:
13-30-3. The amount of the transportation allowance is the rate established pursuant to § 3-9-1
per family for distances actually traveled in excess of five miles each way. No mileage may be paid
for extra trips to the schoolhouse which the school board does not consider necessary nor for more
miles than would be traveled if the shortest distance measured from the place on a publicly used road
nearest the dwelling house of the child to the schoolhouse site were traveled. If children from more
than one family are transported in the same vehicle mileage payments shall may be paid to only one
family. The school board may authorize additional miles if prior approval is obtained to facilitate
cooperative efforts among families to share transportation duties. If children from more than one
family are transported in a single vehicle, reimbursement shall be at rates established by the school
board. However, the mileage reimbursement rate may not be less than the rate established pursuant
to § 3-9-1. If, at the request of the parents, elementary children are assigned to a school that is further
from the dwelling house than the nearest school, the board may limit the reimbursement to the

student who either attends, or is required under any provision of this title to attend at any school in
his own district where dormitory facilities are furnished and available for him, shall not be entitled
to any allowance for board and room. ".
