School committee approves five-year transport contract with First Student
Summary
The committee voted to approve a five-year student transportation services contract with First Student, effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031, pending final review by legal counsel.
The Lincoln School Committee approved a five-year student transportation services contract with First Student, to take effect July 1, 2026, and run through June 30, 2031, subject to final legal review.
Mr. Carvalo moved the measure and the committee approved it by voice vote after the motion and second. The motion, as read in the transcript, included the condition that final execution would be “pending final review by legal counsel.”
Why it matters: the contract governs daily student transportation services, routes and operational responsibilities for the district for the next five school years and may affect riders, bus staff, and district transportation budgets.
Details: the motion specified a five-year term (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2031). No dollar amount was recorded in the transcript; the committee noted the contract reflects increased transportation costs statewide and thanked staff who worked on the procurement.
Next steps: legal counsel review was requested before final execution.
