Board declares transportation 'impractical' for several nonpublic schools, offers payments in lieu of busing
Summary
Citing schedule conflicts and high cost, the board declared transportation impractical for select nonpublic and charter schools for 2025–26 and offered payment in lieu of transportation; estimated cost per bus cited at about $48,000.
The Brecksville-Broadview Heights board adopted a resolution declaring transportation impractical for certain nonpublic and charter schools for the 2025–26 school year and offered payment in lieu of transportation to affected families.
The resolution cites factors required by Ohio law — time and distance, number of pupils, equipment and personnel costs, schedule conflicts and disruption to existing routes — and identifies an approximate cost of $48,000 per year to run an additional bus. Specific schools and student names are listed in the packet exhibits (examples: Birchwood School of Hawken, Heritage Classical Academy, Holy Name High School, Padua Franciscan High School and St. Barnabas). The board directed the superintendent and treasurer to notify families and the Ohio Department of Education as required, and to offer a payment-in-lieu option.
