Cutting Private School Busing (Impracticality Declaration)
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Feb 17, 2026
|
The Board is voting to declare transportation 'impractical' for students attending St. Brendan Catholic School and Lutheran West, offering 'Payment in Lieu' instead of a bus. This is a direct attempt to offload their statutory obligation to transport non-public students, impacting families' ability to choose private education. The justification must be scrutinized.
⚖️ Litigation & Policy Vector
LEGAL ALERT: Flag for immediate OCEN Legal Team review. This appears to violate ORC 3327.02 if the 'Six Factors' justification is insufficient or pretextual. Issue Public Records Request (PRR) to Interim Treasurer Emily Cundiff for all data and calculations supporting the impracticality claim. Address PRR to 377 Dover Center Rd, Bay Village, Ohio, 44140.

Approving Payments Instead of Busing for Private Schools
|
📅 Vote Scheduled Feb 17, 2026
|
Following the declaration of 'impracticality,' the Board is voting to approve 'In Lieu of Transportation' payments. This means families sending children to St. Brendan and Lutheran West will receive a payment instead of busing, forcing them to bear the burden of transportation costs and logistics. This directly undermines school choice.
⚖️ Litigation & Policy Vector
LEGAL ALERT: This item is directly tied to the impracticality declaration (12.3). OCEN Legal Team must review the attached 'Board Agenda February 17, 2026 In Lieu of Transportation.pdf' to ensure the payment rate is compliant and that the overall action does not constitute an undue burden on non-public school families. Prepare for public comment opposing this measure at the Feb 17, 2026 meeting.
