Committee clears McKinney-Vento transportation contract for full-board approval
Summary
Committee members agreed to forward a transportation contract (McKinney-Vento services) to the full board for approval; staff noted a 3% annual rate escalator and said the contract would terminate concurrent with other busing contracts.
The Buildings & Grounds Committee reviewed a proposed contract to provide transportation services under the McKinney-Vento program and agreed to forward the contract to the full board for action.
Staff described vendor performance as positive and said the contract includes trip rates and a 3% escalator in the amendment of rates. The proposed contract term was described as aligning with the district's other busing contracts (those with Durham and First Student) so they terminate concurrently.
At the committee meeting a presenter asked whether committee members were comfortable with moving the item to the board; one committee member replied in the affirmative and the committee agreed to submit the contract for board approval so the district can finalize the agreement.
No roll-call vote was recorded in the committee minutes; staff said the committee's approval was a recommendation to the board.
