Spring‑Ford board approves First Student transportation agreement through June 30, 2025
Summary
The board voted 6‑1 to approve a First Student, Inc. contract to provide transportation services through June 30, 2025, at a cost not to exceed $27,000 to be paid from the transportation budget.
The Spring‑Ford Area School District board voted to approve a short‑term transportation contract with First Student, Inc. at its March 17 meeting.
Administration read the action item: "Administration recommends approval of First Student, Inc. to provide transportation services until 06/30/2025 at a cost not to exceed $27,000 and is to be paid from the transportation budget." The board then moved and seconded the motion; the board confirmed Mr. Lackey seconded the motion.
On a voice vote the motion carried, 6 in favor and 1 opposed. The board did not provide a roll-call breakdown of individual votes in the public portion of the meeting; only the tally was announced.
Why it matters: the contract covers transportation services for the remainder of the fiscal year and is paid from the district’s transportation budget. The board did not discuss further modifications to the contract in public at the time of the vote.
Next steps: the contract will be executed by administration per board direction. Board members may request the full contract language or further details at a subsequent meeting.
Ending: The board moved on to committee reports after the vote.
