Meade School District flags Harlow's contract performance; transportation committee to meet
Summary
Business Manager Brett Burditt told the board Harlow's Transportation is not meeting its contractual 25-route obligation and is providing 23 routes; the transportation committee will meet to pursue renegotiation.
Meade School District 46-1 Business Manager Brett Burditt reported to the board on Feb. 10 that Harlow's Transportation has not fulfilled its contract obligation to operate 25 routes and is instead providing 23. The district has sought a renegotiation to match contracted route counts and to identify budget savings; Harlow's responded in an attached letter that the company would not reduce rates despite delivering fewer routes.
Burditt said the transportation committee will meet with Harlow's to address contract performance and to seek resolution. The minutes record the committee action and the district’s intent to renegotiate but do not record outcomes or a company representative’s statements during the meeting.
No motion to terminate or replace the contract was recorded; the matter remains in the discussion and committee-review stage.
