2. A parent receiving payments under section 15.1-30-02 is not eligible to receive payments under this section.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the board shall apply the criteria equally to all students in the district.
4. If the board closes one of several schools in the district, nothing in this section precludes the board from agreeing to provide transportation to those students who were placed in another school in the district because of the closure.
