Thousands of Ohio students left without school bus rides: How state voucher rules are causing a transport crisis

Thousands of Ohio public school students have lost access to school bus services due to a shortage of drivers, financial constraints, and expanding state voucher rules requiring districts to transport private school students. Public schools are forced to reallocate limited transport resources, leaving many families to manage on their own. Legal disputes, rising operational costs, and regulatory pressures continue to strain school districts across Ohio, with no immediate solutions in place, as reported by the Associated Press.
