Milford School issues plan to reduce busing for next school year

Bus Transportation Eligibility for the 2025-2026 School Year

Due to the failure of the Earned Income Tax (EIT) levy, Milford Exempted Village School District (MEVSD) will be reducing all student transportation services to align with Ohio’s state minimum transportation requirements beginning in the 2025-2026 school year. These changes include the following:

• No transportation will be provided for high school students (grades 9-12).
• Transportation will only be available for students residing outside a 2-mile driving distance of their assigned school building.

We understand these changes may present challenges for families, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to responsibly steward our resources.

Determining Your Child’s Transportation Eligibility

To determine if your child is eligible for transportation services, please refer to the Bus Eligibility Address Lists linked below. If your home address is listed in the provided PDFs, your child qualifies for state minimum busing.

• Boyd Transportation Eligibility List
• Seipelt Transportation Eligibility List
• Mulberry Transportation Eligibility List
• Pattison Transportation Eligibility List
• McCormick Transportation Eligibility List
• Meadowview Transportation Eligibility List
• Milford Middle School Transportation Eligibility List

If your home address does not appear on any of the provided lists your child will not be eligible for district-provided transportation services for the upcoming school year.

Important Notes:

• Addresses are based on driving distance calculations, not walking distance.
• These eligibility lists are final and were determined based on state transportation guidelines.
• Eligibility data comes directly from our busing vendor, Petermann Bus, using their advanced routing software to ensure accuracy and compliance with state requirements.
• Students currently receiving special transportation services through an IEP will continue to have access to those services in the upcoming school year.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate these necessary adjustments.
