Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost recently filed an emergency motion in the Ohio Supreme Court against Columbus City Schools over busing issues that have plagued the district. This is part of an ongoing lawsuit Yost filed earlier this month against the state’s largest school district over issues related to busing charter and private school students

The lawsuit against Columbus schools for paying parents instead of transporting their kids is driven by a practice also long common to some big Northeast Ohio districts.

The emergency motion, filed Wednesday in the Ohio Supreme Court, urges City Schools to begin busing charter and parochial students.

"Routing additional students will most likely create hardships for students already being transported, including the more than 9,000 charter and nonpublic school students we already transport," the district said in a statement.
