IX.1. First Student Contract Review and Renewal
Description:
Mike Goff, First Student Representative, and Todd Schmitz, Transportation Coordinator, will address the board regarding the current transportation contract and renewing the contract with First Student.
The District has consolidated services with Pecatonica. The Transportation Coordinator's salary and a 'floater' bus that goes either way on heavy use days are shared costs between the two districts reducing the current contract rates. As a result of cost savings through the consolidation and partnership with Pecatonica, the District recommends the board take action to renew the First Student Contract without a RFP. |
