The purpose of this bulletin by the Kentucky Department of Education is to provide local school districts and administrators with general and specific information concerning the method by which each district's formula-adjusted pupil transportation program cost is calculated for fiscal year 1983-84. The figures for each district also serve as a means of comparing the costs in districts transporting pupils under relatively similar circumstances. The bulletin provides data for county districts, independent districts, and for nonfoundational and handicapped pupils requiring special transportation. County and independent districts' calculations are based on data divided into 23 columns. Individual columns represent figures such as the square mile area of each county district, the total number of pupils in average daily attendance, gross amounts of money spent by each district for transportation, each district's calculated basic cost for pupil transportation, and each district's aggregate days attendance for pupils transported a mile or more to school. The final column shows the tentative calculated cost of the district's pupil transportation program. (PB)
