Summary
Following an October accident that totaled the district's activity bus, the board approved purchasing a replacement bus for $98,790 from Southern Bus and Mobility; the district will apply about $24,000 from insurance and auction sales with the remainder from the transportation fund.
Superintendent McBrain told trustees that an October accident totaled the district activity bus and that two vendors—Midwest Transit and Southern Bus and Mobility—submitted quotes.
