	For any parent or guardian who provides transportation to a school age child with a disability, the school district shall reimburse the parent or guardian the prevailing rate per mile for state employees and the state minimum wage for the time spent providing the transportation. Reimbursement shall be for no more than the round-trip time and distance between the home and the school for school attendance and school-sponsored extracurricular activities.
