Virginia and West Virginia debate private school transport payments
West Virginia could save money by ending payments to parents for private school rides. State records show at least $425000 paid citywide last year. County boards cite law and reimbursement as justification. Some districts run private-school bus routes and stipends vary up to 75 cents a mile or $1.25 daily.
