COLUMBUS, Ohio-Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost issued a cease-and-desist letter to Columbus City Schools (CCS) for allegedly violating state law by refusing to transport some students who attend charter or community schools but live within the district. CCS has claimed it is “impractical” to transport these students, but Yost argues this is a breach of the district’s legal obligations. The decision is reportedly impacting enrollment at charter schools and causing issues for families, with some parents missing work to transport their children. Superintendent Dr. Angela Chapman maintains that CCS is complying with state law regarding transportation.
