Board approves transportation plan; district to receive roughly $371,000 in state reimbursement
Summary
Trustees approved the district transportation plan, which staff said covers home‑to‑school transportation and qualifies the district for about $371,000 in 2026–27 state reimbursement; staff highlighted a 13‑person transportation team and seven regular routes serving about 970 students.
The Eureka Union School District Board of Trustees approved the district’s transportation plan, enabling the district to claim approximately $371,000 in state reimbursement for 2026–27.
District staff said the transportation department employs 13 people, distributes about 972 bus passes, runs seven regular education routes that serve around 970 students and two special‑education routes serving about 40 students. Staff also said the fleet uses renewable clean diesel and recorded 108,000 miles driven in 2025 with no accidents.
Why it matters: The plan is part of a new state requirement that permits reimbursement for 60% of eligible home‑to‑school transportation costs when districts submit required documentation and plans. The revenue supports transportation operations and offsets local costs.
Trustee Matt moved to approve the plan; Trustee Aaron seconded the motion and the board approved it without public comment.
What’s next: Staff will submit required documentation to the state to receive the reimbursement and will report back to the board on implementation and budget impacts.
