Liberty CUSD 2 board approves fuel contract pricing with Prairieland FS
Summary
The Liberty CUSD 2 Board approved a fuel-pricing contract with Prairieland FS that fixes 50% of gas and diesel usage at contract price across two six-month periods covering April 2025–March 2026; the motion carried 6–1 with one nay from Mixer.
The Liberty Community Unit #2 Board of Education approved a fuel contract pricing arrangement with Prairieland FS on March 19, 2025. The motion, made by Board member Baucom and seconded by Board member Mowen, specifies that 50% of gasoline usage will be purchased at contract price for April 1, 2025–September 30, 2025 and October 1, 2025–March 31, 2026, and that 50% of diesel usage will be purchased at contract price for April 1, 2025–November 30, 2025 and December 1, 2025–March 31, 2026.
The board approved the motion by roll call, recorded as six ayes and one nay (Mixer opposed). Board members voting in the affirmative were Baucom, Derhake, Mowen, Obert and Sims (the minutes also list one name as "Meyer" in the vote tally, which appears to be a transcription error and corresponds to board member Mixer as listed among members present). The contract's structure—splitting purchases so half the district's projected usage is secured at a contract price across the listed date ranges—aims to manage price volatility and budget exposure for district transportation and facilities operations. The minutes do not include the dollar value of the contract or expected annual savings; those details were not specified in the public minutes.
