I.	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 $368.00 for the 2021-2022 school year, per student grades K - 12.

L.	Impractical to Transport
Due to the small number of students attending the Allen County Educational Service Center Special Education Units, the Findlay School for the Hearing Impaired, and The Center for Autism & Dyslexia, Bath Local Schools declares it impractical to transport by conventional school bus. Transportation will be offered through either Black & White Cab Company, RTA or contract with parents/legal guardian at a rate of $2.50 per
day. Wheelchair bound students attending Marimor will be at the contracted rate of $10.00 per day. (Students to be approved for transportation services are included in the attached list.)
