Contracted Bus 

Route Agreement

Financial information was presented comparing the cost of contracted routes with the district routes.  Contracted routes cost more per mile and if the district did not contract the two routes it would save approximately $20,000 per year. The disadvantage is that the district would have to plan on buying two additional buses in the future. 

Following the Finance Committee recommendations, Greig’s Bus Service will be offered $2.65 per mile (the current rate was $2.99). No other changes will be made to the agreement. If in agreement, the contract will be approved at the June 15 meeting.

Cost will be $5.25 per square foot for educational space and $2.65 for shared space. The lease will be approved at the June Board meeting.
