In Lieu of Transportation
This resolution to declare transportation impractical for certain identified students is presented pursuant to the requirements of Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3327 and the procedures set forth by the Ohio Department of Education. The resolution follows careful evaluation of all other available options prior to consideration of impracticality.
The Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Paul Imhoff, recommends that the board of education adopt the following resolution:
WHEREAS the student(s) identified below have been determined to be residents of the Upper Arlington City School District, and eligible for transportation services; and
WHEREAS after careful evaluation of all available options, it has been determined that it is impractical to provide transportation for these students(s) to their selected school (s); and
WHEREAS the following factors as identified in Revised Code 3327.02 have been considered:
The time and distance required to provide transportation
The number of pupils to be transported
The cost of providing transportation in terms of equipment, maintenance, personnel, and administration
Whether similar or equivalent service is provided to other pupils eligible for transportation
Whether and to what extent the additional service unavoidably disrupts current transportation schedules
Whether other reimbursable types of transportation are available; and

WHEREAS the option of offering payment-in-lieu of transportation is provided in Ohio Revised Code: Therefore be it

RESOLVED that the Upper Arlington City Schools Board of Education hereby approves the declaration that it is impractical to transport the student identified herein and offers the parent(s)/guardian(s) of students named on the attachment, payment-in-lieu of transportation.
