It is the goal of the North Canton Board of Education to provide transportation to and from school in a safe and efficient manner on our school buses. The rules and regulations for pupil transportation that are established by the
Ohio Department of Education and the
Ohio State Highway Patrol shall be followed consistently.
Any parent with questions or concerns about school bus stop times/locations, please contact the Transportation Office / Bus Garage at 330-497-5615. If you are moving, but staying within the district, please start the process with your building secretary. She will communicate the change and work with Transportation to issue you a new bus stop location and time.
