Board approves multiple transportation contracts, including Legacy Bus Company

Melrose Public School District Board · July 28, 2026

Summary

The board approved contracts with Legacy Bus Company (four-year term with renegotiation every two years), Melrose Plus Company, New Munich Bus Company, and Williams Bus Company; members discussed mileage reimbursement rules and earlier bus-stop safety adjustments.

The board approved several transportation contracts for the coming years, including a multi-year agreement with Legacy Bus Company that staff described as a four‑year contract with a renegotiation clause every two years. "It's a it's a 4 year contract, but in the contract, every 2 years, we can renegotiate the terms and conditions," a staff member said, describing the approach to balance stability with flexibility.

Board members discussed specifics about which company serves particular areas and whether mileage reimbursement decisions had been consistently applied across districts. Staff confirmed earlier safety concerns (students crossing a highway) had been addressed by moving a bus stop. The motions to approve the Legacy, Melrose Plus, New Munich and Williams contracts carried by voice vote during the meeting. The board did not request further amendments to the contracts at that time.
