EFFECT: Charter schools must provide student transportation on routes comparable to the routes used by other schools in the district. New charter schools are authorized only for schools with the primary purpose of serving educationally disadvantaged students and located in, or accessible to students who live in geographic areas in which a large proportion of students have difficulty meeting state student achievement standards or in which a large number of schools have been identified for school improvement.
