During the September board meeting, the board voted to terminate the contract with our current transportation provider and enter into a new agreement with R&R Transportation Services. Upon further review, it was discovered that terminating the current contract would result in immediate discontinuation of services and additional costs exceeding the initial estimate.

To ensure fiscal responsibility and continuity of student transportation services, I am respectfully requesting that the board reverse the previous decision and maintain the existing transportation contract at this time. |
