N.	Payment in Lieu of Transportation
Whereas, according to Ohio School Law Article 22.6, Bath Local Schools declares it impractical to transport students due to the cost of providing transportation in terms of equipment, maintenance, personnel and administration; the very low number of students requesting this service and the fact that similar services are not provided to students from other non-public schools with similar circumstances. Therefore “Payment in Lieu of Transportation” is recommended for Lima Central Catholic School, St. Rose Catholic School, St. Charles Catholic School, and Heir Force Community School. Payment in lieu of transportation is recommended in the amount of $250.00 for the 2019-2020 school year, per student grades K - 12.
