District reports $2.1M transportation fund balance; 4–5 buses possible
Summary
Budget presenter said the transportation vehicle fund has a beginning balance of roughly $2.1 million and could support purchase of four to five buses; district maintains an in-house fleet and staff mechanics rather than leasing.
Kyle Fletcher told the board the transportation vehicle fund had a healthy beginning balance of about $2,100,000 and that the district could purchase four to five buses with that amount if needed. He emphasized the district keeps transportation operations in-house (three mechanics on staff) rather than leasing vehicles, and noted the region’s large geographic area increases per-student transportation costs.
Board members asked about differences from other districts that lease transportation; Fletcher said the in-house model supports maintenance efficiency and local control but that the district covers greater mileage than many peers, which can increase costs.
