The Clintonville School District has been violating state Department of Public Instruction busing rules since the beginning of the school year.
The School Board learned earlier this month night that a DPI audit found two busing issues to address.
The district has been wrongly receiving aid for transporting 4-year-old kindergarten students on a bus with special education students. The practice will be discontinued beginning with the next school year.
If special education students’ individual education plans recommend they need transportation, it will be provided by the district, business manager Lynette Edwards said.
The district also has been transporting several 3-year-olds to parochial schools since the beginning of the school year. The district can do that but will receive no state transportation aid for them. The board voted to end the practice at the end of this school year.
Edwards said bus schedules likely will be quite different next year. The routes won’t be available until some time this summer.
