Finance and Operation Committee advances DATCO bus contract for 2027–2031 to full board
Summary
The Bristol School District Finance and Operation Committee voted to advance a recommendation to select DATCO as the in‑town transportation provider for 2027–2031 to the full board, following an executive-session review of the bus contract.
The Finance and Operation Committee of the Bristol School District convened at 6:03 p.m. and voted to advance a recommendation to select DATCO as the district’s in‑town transportation provider for 2027–2031 to the full board.
The committee first voted to enter an executive session to discuss the bus contract; the chair announced invited participants Jodie Bond, Rob Pari, Iris White and Sydney Molina would join for that discussion and the recording was paused. After reconvening in public at about 6:13 p.m., a committee member moved “to put forward DATCO as the in town transportation for 2027 to 2031 and move this forward to the full board.” The motion was seconded by Shelby, and the chair said the motion carries.
The transcript records that the committee voted in favor but does not provide a named roll-call tally in the public record; the motion was described in the meeting as carried and will be presented to the full board for final action. The clerk paused the public recording during the executive session, saying, “I will pause the recording now. Motion has been made and seconded.”
No further details about contract value, renewal terms beyond the 2027–2031 period, or the bidder comparison were given in the public portion of the meeting. The committee adjourned at 6:14 p.m. and the recommendation to advance DATCO will appear on the upcoming full-board agenda for final consideration.
