Finance committee selects five-year lease with buyout for two activity buses
Summary
The Washington CHSD 308 Finance Committee agreed Feb. 5 to pursue a five-year lease with a buyout option from Midwest Transit to replace two district activity buses whose leases expire this summer.
The Finance Committee for the Washington Community High School District agreed to pursue a five-year lease with a buyout option from Midwest Transit to replace two district activity buses whose current leases expire this summer. The committee recorded consensus that a five-year term with an end-of-lease buyout represented the best option to meet school transportation needs while managing long-term costs.
Committee members discussed vehicle replacement options and settled on leasing two activity buses rather than immediate purchase; no formal roll-call vote on the bus contract was recorded in the minutes. The committee item appears as part of routine fleet planning for the 2025–26 school year; staff will proceed with vendor discussions and next steps for contract execution.
