TRANSPORTATION
OF STUDENTS TO
CAREER-TECHNICAL
CENTERS
In all city, exempted village, and local school districts which have an
approved career-technical plan, the district (if the district of residence)
must provide transportation from the public high school where the
student would have attended to the location of the career-technical
program to which the student is assigned.

TRANSPORTATION
OF “CRIPPLED”
CHILDREN
School districts are required to provide transportation “for all children
who are so crippled that they are unable to walk to and from the school.”
In the event of a dispute as to whether the child is able to walk, “the
health commissioner shall be the judge of such ability.”
3327.01
TRANSPORTATION
OF STUDENTS TO
NON-PUBLIC OR
COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS
School district must provide transportation for students to non-public and
community schools on the same basis as it provides for resident pupils
to its own schools.
However, a board of education is not required to provide transportation
for either elementary or high school students to and from a nonpublic or
community school on a Saturday or Sunday unless the board of
education had an agreement in place to do so before July 1 preceding
the start of the school year.
If the transportation would require more than thirty minutes of direct
travel time from the public school building to which the pupils would be
assigned if attending the public school district, a board of education may
offer payment in lieu of transportation. If a board of education declares it
impractical to transport, it must notify the department of education.
If the parent rejects the payment in lieu of transportation, the parent may
request mediation by the department of education and, ultimately, a
hearing. The state board of education will ultimately then make the
decision. The school district is required to provide the transportation until
the matter is resolved either through mediation or through the decision of
the state board of education.
In the event a community school enters into an agreement with a
school district board of education that makes the community school
responsible for providing or arranging for transportation of the
district's native students to and from the community school, the
community school may determine that it is impractical to transport
any one pupil to and from school using the same procedure,
requirements, and payment structure as a school district uses to
determine that it is impractical to transport that pupil.
Parents of children enrolled in chartered nonpublic schools and eligible
for transportation by the resident school district may decline that
transportation in favor of transportation offered by the nonpublic school.
The governing authority of the nonpublic school may charge the parent a
fee for the transportation, but the fee cannot exceed the per student
cost, as determined by the governing authority. However, the offer by the
nonpublic school does not relieve the resident school district of its
obligation to transport if the parent does not elect the option by the
