Sec. 3. (a) If a school corporation does not maintain or operate a high school and a high school student who resides in the school corporation is transferred to attend a high school in a contiguous school corporation, the governing bodies of the school corporations may enter into an agreement for the transportation of the student.

     (b) The agreement under subsection (a) must specify that the transportation shall be provided by the receiving school corporation and that the costs of transportation shall be paid by the transferring school corporation out of the school corporation’s special school funds. The costs of transportation shall be calculated from the per capita cost for each student transported and shall be mutually agreed upon by both governing bodies. Payment of transportation charges shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as payments of transfer tuition are made for transferred students.
