COLUMBUS, Ohio-Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has filed an emergency motion against Columbus City Schools over ongoing busing issues affecting charter and private school students. This lawsuit highlights the district’s failure to fulfill its legal obligation to provide transportation for nonpublic school students living within its boundaries. Yost criticized the district for causing hardships for families who must seek alternative transportation solutions. Columbus City Schools is currently operating at about 72% capacity with its bus drivers and has chosen not to transport certain charter and private school students, offering instead to reimburse families for transportation costs. This decision has led some families to seek mediation, which requires the district to continue providing transportation during the process.
