COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- Columbus City Schools is facing another lawsuit for its decision to declare some charter school students transportation impractical. In a lawsuit filed Sept. 19, a student's parents filed a class action complaint against CCS for the decision, both "individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated." The complaint alleges CCS did not adhere to Ohio Revised Code laws requiring public school districts to provide transportation to nonpublic schools if students still live in their jurisdiction. According to Ohio law, districts are able to declare students are impractical to transport if they attend a nonpublic school that requires more than 30 minutes of travel time from the public school building they would have been assigned to. Ohio law says districts that determine students to be transportation impractical must do so at last 30 days before the district's first day of school. According to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost, many affected students did not receive word until on or after Aug. 6, despite the last day CCS could make such decisions being July 22. Ohio Statehouse leaders address Springfield claims Revised Code also says transportation ineligible students should then be offered payment in lieu of transportation services, from which parents can either accept the money or enter a mediation process. Ohio law says this payment should be between 50% and 100% of the district's average cost of pupil transportation from the last school year. The complaint alleges CCS did not properly adhere to the process described in Ohio law, highlighting the lack of stipends for affected families. The lawsuit is seeking monetary damages and a declaratory judgement, or a legal clarification of the relevant laws. The state of Ohio also sued CCS over the same decision earlier this month, with Yost accusing the district of failing to provide the legally required notice to affected families. Yost said around 1,380 students were declared transportation impractical, and has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to make CCS transport the students until a mediation process can unfold. At the time of publication, CCS was unable to be reached for comment. Previously, CCS Superintendent Angela Chapman has said she sympathizes with affected families, but argues the decision was necessary. “But all families, our entire community needs to be thinking about the burden that it placed on the system organization,” Chapman said. “When we are choosing a school that’s a significant distance away from their home and away from their home neighborhood, there’s a cost to that.” Yost's case is still in the Supreme Court awaiting further action. The second lawsuit is scheduled for trial in late 2025, according to court documents.
