Contract renewal sought for Cannon County bus drivers; district says prior three‑year terms customary, 9% increase referenced
Summary
A contractor representing bus drivers asked the board for a three‑year renewal; the contractor had requested a 9% increase, which staff said is in the budget, and the new term would begin Aug. 1.
A contractor representing Cannon County bus drivers told the board at a July workshop the district has granted three‑year contracts in the past and requested another three‑year term beginning Aug. 1.
Board members asked whether the contractor sought a rate increase. A representative said the contractor originally asked for a 9% increase; district staff said they had been told that increase was approved and that the change is included in the budget. No formal action was taken at the workshop; the item will be scheduled for consideration at the board’s meeting in August, and staff said the contract runs out in August.
The board did not record a vote at the workshop and asked staff to place the renewal on the upcoming agenda.
