Superintendent: SEER bus contract about $4 million, set to expire in 2027
Summary
Committee members asked about the SEER bus contract; the superintendent said the current contract is roughly $4,000,000, expires in 2027, and the district will compare regional contracts while negotiating locally.
Committee members raised transportation cost concerns and asked about the district’s contract with SEER bus services.
The superintendent (S4) said the SEER contract expires in 2027 and has been “approximately $4,000,000.” She said the district will coordinate with regional superintendents to compare contracts so Bangor negotiators can seek the best possible local outcome. S4 clarified the district is comparing contracts across the region, not joining a single, collective contract that would bind districts to one vendor.
Committee members asked how regional comparisons would avoid shifting disproportionate costs to Bangor; the superintendent reiterated the effort is a review and benchmarking exercise to improve bargaining and not a commitment to a shared contract.
No formal action or vote on the contract occurred at the meeting; the superintendent said renegotiations will occur before the contract expires.
