An overall performance rating of C or higher under Education Code 39.054 for the preceding school year or the most recent school year in which a performance rating was assigned.Has an active policy adopted by the board that prohibits screening transfer students who reside outside the district based on the student's academic performance, disciplinary history, or attendance record, regardless of any relevant district or innovation plan adopted by the board or authorization to screen transfer students under any other authority and.Outside the district if students enrolled in the district reside outside the district and the district:.Outside the district, if the district enters into an interlocal contract as provided by Government Code Chapter 791 or.Code 541.201(3)(A), (12), (15), (16) AuthorityĪ board may establish and operate an economical public school transportation system: "Motor bus" means a vehicle designed to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver.Įducation Code 34.003(d), (e) Transp.The term does not include a school-chartered bus or a bus operated by a mass transit authority. "School bus" means a motor vehicle that was manufactured in compliance with the federal motor vehicle safety standards for school buses in effect on the date of manufacture and that is used to transport preprimary, primary, or secondary students on a route to and from school or on a school-related activity trip other than on routes to and from school.The term does not include a chartered bus, a bus operated by a mass transit authority, a school bus, or a multifunction school activity bus. "School activity bus" means a bus designed to accommodate more than 15 passengers, including the operator, that is owned, operated, rented, or leased by a district and is used to transport public school students on a school-related activity trip, other than on routes to and from school."Passenger van" means a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or passenger car, used to transport persons and designed to transport 15 or fewer passengers, including the driver."Passenger car" means a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, used to transport persons and designed to accommodate ten or fewer passengers, including the operator.


"Bus" means a motor vehicle used to transport persons and designed to accommodate more than ten passengers, including the operator.Deeper understanding of these observed associations may also benefit modeling efforts by allowing researchers to include mathematical adjustments or better explain caveats to results when communicating with decision makers and the public in the crucial early stages of an epidemic. These conclusions should inform early action practices in urban centers with busy transit systems in the event of future infectious disease outbreaks. Increasing weekly bus transit usage in metropolitan statistical areas by one scaled unit was associated with a 1.38 times increase in incidence rate of COVID-19 a one scaled unit increase in weekly train transit usage was associated with an increase in incidence rate of 1.54 times. Higher incidence of COVID-19 early in the pandemic was associated with survey results conveying higher transit use. The model results demonstrate that mass transit adoption in US metropolitan areas was associated with the magnitude of outbreaks. National survey-based transit adoption measures are entered in negative binomial regression models to evaluate differences between areas. Taking an ecological approach where areal data are the unit of observation, this national-scale study aims to measure the association between the adoption of mass transit and COVID-19 spread through confirmed cases in US metropolitan areas. Little is published regarding the degree to which mass transit system adoption effects impacted the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic in urban centers. Social distancing can be challenging in confined spaces required for transportation such as mass transit systems. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has directly led to over 600,000 deaths in the US as of July 2021, triggered mass social distancing policies to be enacted as a key deterrent of widespread infections. Urbanization introduces the threat of increased epidemic disease transmission resulting from crowding on mass transit.
