Non-Public, Private & Charter School Requests

Non-public, private and charter school students who reside within the boundaries of the Delaware City School District may request transportation to school by completing a Transportation Request Form and returning the form to the Willis Education Center at 74 W. William St., Delaware, Ohio 43015. The form MUST be submitted no later than June 30 to allow for appropriate transportation planning.  For students who enroll and notify Delaware City Schools after June 30, limited options will be available for transportation.

Transportation Request Form

The Board of Education may declare it impractical to provide transportation to non-public, private or charter schools based on the following criteria established by the Ohio Department of Education:

• The time and distance required to provide the 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

If Delaware City Schools cannot provide transportation, students may qualify for payment in-lieu of transportation under certain circumstances. A notification of rights letter will be sent to you and a payment-in-lieu of transportation form giving the family the opportunity to accept or reject the offer. The form should then be returned to the Willis Education Center to the attention of the Director of Facilities and Transportation no later than September 15.
