Findlay City Schools is still working on restoring some of the busing services it eliminated and scaled back.
For the current school year, there is no busing for high school students, and a two-mile walk radius for elementary and middle school students, with busing provided for those who live more than two miles from their school.
At the first school board meeting of the year, Superintendent Dr. Andy Hatton recommended that the district keep its current level of busing service for the remainder of the school year and focus on restoring some busing services in August.
He says they will continue to do their best to reduce the longest routes as they continue to hire drivers, and in the meantime, they’ll be testing new routes and making sure the enhancements to their software and GPS are talking seamlessly.
The school district previously mentioned February as when some busing could be restored.
Busing services were reduced after voters rejected a levy in November 2024, but in May 2025 voters approved a 1 percent earned income tax levy for the district.
