School Committee tables decision on NRT transportation contract extension until Feb. 2
Summary
Committee members asked for more information about enrollment impacts and pricing before deciding whether to exercise a one‑year extension of the district’s NRT transportation contract; motion to table carried unanimously.
The committee reviewed the pending transportation contract with NRT, which provides special‑education transportation in and out of district and includes pricing tied to student counts. Members noted recent declines in enrollment data and requested additional financial and service detail before deciding whether to exercise a one‑year extension.
Miss Bataphora explained the current contract structure and that the district has historically used the one‑year extension option. Committee members asked whether the contract would be sent to bid and whether the February meeting would include pricing and vendor details; staff noted some transportation contracts can be exempt from Chapter 30B procurement rules.
A motion to table consideration of the extension until the Feb. 2 meeting passed unanimously to allow staff to prepare more detailed information for committee review.
