Nonpublic Transportation Reimbursement

According to the Iowa Department of Education:

The nonpublic transportation reimbursement claim is the way by which parents of children attending a non-public school, or school districts, may get reimbursed for at least a part of their transportation costs. The funding for this program is appropriated by the legislature from the State of Iowa’s general fund.

The program is mandated by Iowa Code 285.1(14), which states: "Resident pupils attending a nonpublic school located either within or without the school district of the pupil’s residence shall be entitled to transportation on the same basis as provided for resident public school pupils under this section."

For more information, please see the Iowa Department of Education website here.

Below you will find the Nonpublic Parent Reimbursement Form according to your resident school district. Forms must be completed 2 times a year and turned in by December 1st and May 1st in order to be approved.
