Board OKs Transfinder upgrade and transportation run changes
Summary
Minersville's board authorized a one-time Transfinder Routefinder upgrade ($10,145) with $5,200 annual renewals, approved multiple transportation run adjustments with per-day costs, and added volunteer coaches for girls softball.
The Minersville Area Board of Education authorized the district Business Manager to sign a proposal to upgrade Transfinder from Routefinder Pro to Routefinder Plus at a one-time cost of $10,145; annual renewals are recorded at $5,200. The motion passed on roll call with all members voting in favor.
Separately, the board approved specific transportation run additions and revisions with Earl Renninger, Inc., identifying route codes and per-day rates (for example: M22 Gilberton AM $55/day; revised M25 North Schuylkill $66/day after removing a Shenandoah stop; M25 MCV Econo Lodge PM $39/day; M15 River Rock at Cressona $69/day). The board also approved four volunteer additions to the girls softball coaching staff: Jennifer Laudeman, Carmine Caccavale, Michael Mistishen and Laura Bosack.
Why it matters: the Transfinder upgrade changes the district's routing software and incurs an immediate one-time cost plus ongoing annual renewals; the transportation run approvals adjust daily vendor payments and routes that affect student pick-up/drop-off logistics.
