Kadrmas v. Dickinson Public Schools  

Definition

  • At issue in Kadrmas v. Dickinson Public Schools (1988), the U.S. Supreme Court's only case on the topic, was whether educational officials violated a student's right to a public school education because her mother could not afford the transportation fee, and state law did not require a local board that met specified state requirements to provide free transportation. The Court upheld the district's right to charge such a fee.Facts of the CaseKadrmas arose because insofar as a school board was not required to provide student transportation to school, it charged a fee for such transportation of $97.00 per school year for families with one child and $150.00 for those with two children.
