The Stillwater Township Board of Education approved renewals of transportation contracts and an arrangement for joint transportation coordination at its July 21 meeting.
Board members voted to renew regular-route contracts with Stocker Bus Company for the 2025–26 school year, with listed prior-year route costs totaling $276,271.00 and a CPI-based 3.57% adjustment applied to calculate renewal amounts per route. The motion also renewed the district's activity transportation agreement with Stocker Bus Company; the activity renewal cost listed on the agenda was $7,353.55 (the district is charged only for trips actually attended).
Separately, the board authorized joint transportation coordination with Kittatinny Regional High School to manage aid-in-lieu student transportation for the 2025–26 year. The administration estimated 13 aid-in-lieu students at $1,177 per student (est. AIL total $15,301) and an administrative fee estimate of $612.04. Board member Mrs. Valeich moved the motion to approve the listed transportation renewals and coordination; Mr. Franek seconded and the motion carried on roll call vote.
The board recorded route-level details and per-trip cost estimates for activity destinations on the agenda, noting that Stillwater will be billed only for attended trips. Questions from a resident during public participation asked about the length of contract renewals; the agenda lists these as renewals for the 2025–26 school year.
