Compliance Monitoring Process

The Ohio Department of Education Office of Field Services and Transportation has a new compliance monitoring system for school district pupil transportation services.  This system will allow for monitoring and enforcement of transportation responsibilities outlined in Ohio Revised Code 3327.01, 3327. 016, and division (B) of 3327.017.  This includes a formal complaint process that may be used by parents or community or nonpublic schools to report instances of non-compliance with transportation requirements.
