Shirland School Board approves First Student transportation contract extension through FY30
Summary
The Shirland School District board approved a contract extension with First Student covering fiscal years FY26–FY30, voting unanimously during its March 19, 2025 meeting. The board also handled routine consent items and other business that evening.
The Shirland School District No. 134 Board of Education voted on March 19, 2025 to extend its transportation contract with First Student for fiscal years FY26 through FY30. Mrs. Stromberg moved to approve the extension, Mr. Bartlett seconded, and the motion passed on a roll-call vote with all members voting in favor.
Board discussion on the item was procedural in the minutes; no dollar amounts or contract terms were specified in the record. The action was recorded under the meeting’s Action Items and appears as a multi-year extension rather than a one-year renewal. The board’s formal motion text in the minutes is recorded as “Determined to approve First Student Contract Extension for FY26 through FY30.”
No speakers raised objections in the public record. The contract extension was among several action votes the board took that evening, all noted as passing on roll-call votes marked “all ayes.” The minutes do not include additional details about pricing, performance metrics, or changes to routes; those documents were not included in the minutes and are listed as available through the business office if the public seeks them.
