AKRON, Ohio-Akron Public Schools are facing ongoing deliberations over how to transport homeless and developmentally disabled students, with the latest proposal to contract with Templeton Transportation LLC postponed by the Board of Education. Despite passing measures allowing independent contractors to transport students temporarily, the board did not set a date to reconsider the Templeton contract. Board members expressed concerns over the administration’s attempt to reintroduce a previously rejected contract without sufficient clarity and legal adherence, potentially leading to legal challenges from independent van operators.
