HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 53
(By Delegates Proudfoot, J. Martin, Prezioso, Yeager,
Everson, Kuhn, Williams, Anderson, Collins,
Ball, Hall, Faircloth and Beach)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to make
a study of the total time rural students spend in route to
schools, including on the bus, waiting for the bus and
between buses versus the time urban students spend in route
to school.
Whereas, The Legislature provides foundation allowance
funding for transportation of students in addition to any other
costs incurred by the counties; and
Whereas, There is an obvious and significant difference in
the cost of transportation of students who live in rural areas as
compared with the cost of transportation of students who live in
the higher populated urban areas of the state, which often leads
to rural students spending hours of total time to go to, and
return from, their schools; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to review, examine and study the total time rural
students spend in route to schools, including on the bus, waiting
for the bus and between buses versus the time urban students
spend in route to school; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 1997,on its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with
drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its
recommendations; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct
this study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary
legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint
Committee on Government and Finance.
