DAYTON BUS LAWSUIT

IN SOUTHWEST OHIO, ONE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT IS SUING THE STATE, CLAIMING A NEW LAW IS BOTH UNREASONABLE AND DISCRIMINATORY. 
THE DAYTON DAILY NEWS CONFIRMS THAT THE NEW OHIO STATE BUDGET MAKES IT ILLEGAL FOR DAYTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION BUS PASSES TO ITS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. IN A LAWSUIT FILED TUESDAY, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY DISTRICT IN THE ENTIRE STATE THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE LAW. COURT DOCUMENTS SAY THE DISTRICT IS CONCERNED ABOUT TRUANCY AS A RESULT OF STUDENTS NOT HAVING ANY SAFE WAY TO GET TO AND FROM SCHOOL. THE DISTRICT CLAIMS IT CAN'T AFFORD THE ALTERNATIVE 16 MILLION DOLLAR SCHOOL BUS COST AND DOESN'T HAVE THE DRIVERS.
