Board approves transportation contract with 2.9% CPI increase to support summer and school-year routes
Summary
The board voted to award a transportation contract to support summer and regular high-school transportation; the district noted the contract carries a 2.9% allowable increase tied to CPI under New York State guidance.
The Fredonia Central School District board voted July 22 to award a transportation contract intended to support summer programming and regular high-school transportation.
Mr. Forbes explained the arrangement, telling the board the contract supports summer high-school summer-school transportation and that the price change from last year reflects the allowable increase: "2.9% which is the allowable increase, based on CPI for New York State Transportation Act." The board moved the item to the table, seconded the motion and approved the award by voice vote.
Why it matters: The contract secures transportation for summer instruction and the upcoming school year; the CPI-based increase reflects standard contract terms and ongoing operational costs for student transportation.
The board recorded the approval and will move forward with contract implementation through the district's transportation processes.
