   1. (1) unless the child is a special education pupil, the pupil's residence must be more than one and one-half miles from both the nearest regular bus route and the pupil's attendance center;
   2. (2) the per-mile rate may not exceed the maximum rate paid by the district for the travel of its administrative employees when using their private vehicles for school business; and
