In a letter to the Transportation Department, ODPS states that the CH-UH School District, “consistently has been observed as being one of the best during annual inspection and that our District has displayed professionalism and pride in maintaining our fleet of school buses.”
The letter ends by mentioning that with the continued efforts of the CH-UH School District, the State of Ohio will continue making bus transportation the safest way to transport children, the state’s greatest assets.
The Licensing and Commercial Standards section of the Ohio State Highway Patrol conducts the annual inspections.
