K.	Payment in Lieu of Transportation 
The Bath Board of Education, governing authority providing transportation pursuant to section 3314.091 of the Ohio Revised Code, has determine that it is impractical to transport a pupil who is eligible for transportation to and from a school under section 3327.01 of the Ohio Revised Code: (1) The time and distance required to provide the transportation; (2) The number of pupils to be transported; (3) The cost of providing transportation in terms of equipment, maintenance, personnel, and administration; (4) Whether similar or equivalent service is provided to other pupils eligible for transportation; (5) Whether and to what extent the additional service unavoidably disrupts current transportation schedules; (6) Whether other reimbursable types of transportation are available.

Payment in lieu of transportation is recommended in the amount of $583.86 for the 2024-2025 school year, per student grades K - 12.
