Any Perrysburg Schools student living outside of the Self-Transport Zone, but within school district boundaries, is eligible for bus transportation. Students who are Open-Enrolled to an inter-district public school are not eligible for transportation. You may find your child's bus schedule in the Stopfinder App in early August. Transportation will not be able to give routing information prior to August.

Self-Transport Zones

All Perrysburg Schools students in Kindergarten through Grade 8 who live within the self-transport zone of their school are not eligible for transportation to and from school from their home address.

The self-transport zone is the area surrounding the school to an extended radius of approximately one (1) mile that also takes into consideration proximity of other schools, hazardous streets, the need for crossing guards, and related factors. View self-transport zones here.

In addition – due to the budget reductions following the November 2024 operational levy rejection, statewide educational budget reductions and bus driver shortages – Perrysburg Schools has implemented the state minimums in transportation for high school, which is an approximate 2-mile self-transport zone.

Alternate Transportation
Regardless of Transportation Eligibility, any parent/guardian may fill out an Alternate Transportation Form to request a student ride a Perrysburg School Bus to/from a daycare or childcare provider within the school's attendance area or to/from another parent/guardian's home in a Shared Parenting situation. This form must be filled out each school year and is subject to approval by the Transportation Department.

Daycare & Other Transportation Options

- Perrysburg YMCA offers onsite daycare at each Perrysburg Elementary School from 6:00 - 8:50 a.m. and 3:35 - 6:00 p.m.
- Some local daycares may provide their own shuttle to take students to and from the daycare facility to the school. Please check with individual providers for this option.
