Board approves bus and van purchases and three-year transportation contracts; contractor raises review concerns
Summary
Board approved purchases of two replacement school buses and two 12-passenger vans and renewed three-year student-transportation contracts. A representative of Queen Anne Bus Line later said his company had insufficient time to review the contract language before the vote.
The Queen Anne's County Board of Education approved capital purchases and multi-year transportation contracts to maintain student transportation for the 2025–26 school year and beyond, and heard a public comment from a contractor seeking clarity on contract language.
John Murdoch, who presented the bus purchase, asked the board to approve buying two 2026 Thomas Saf-T-Liner C2 buses from American Bus Sales for $324,120 (FY26 local CIP) to replace vehicles that have reached their 15-year service lives. The board approved the purchase.
