Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost recently filed an emergency motion in the Ohio Supreme Court against Columbus City Schools over busing issues that have plagued the district.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.This is part of an ongoing lawsuit Yost filed earlier this month against the state’s largest school district over issues related to busing charter and private school students within the district’s boundaries.“Every day of inaction from Columbus Schools puts parents between a rock and a hard place,” Yost said in a statement.
And Ohio’s expansion of school vouchers has also compounded transportation issues for public school districts, said Doug Palmer, senior transportation consultant for the Ohio School Boards Association.“More students are attending nonpublic and charter schools located far from their homes, straining public school bus services,” Palmer said in an email.
