Board approves First Student contracts for special‑education and general transportation
Summary
Following staff recommendations, the Board approved a three‑year special‑education transportation contract with First Student totaling $1,328,409 for year one and a two‑year extension on general transportation with a 2.9% rate increase for 2025–26.
The Board voted unanimously to award a three‑year contract for special‑education transportation to First Student, with the first‑year cost shown as $1,328,409. Administrators said the district considered multiple factors beyond price, including student safety and provider reliability, and noted operational concerns with a lower bidder, Safeway.
Separately, the Board approved a two‑year extension for general transportation services with First Student that carries a 2.9% increase for the 2025–26 year and a CPI‑U linkage for the 2026–27 rate. Mr. Jeremy Davis framed both approvals as moves to preserve operational stability for bus services across the district.
