What happened

The transportation department presented a proposed 5.26% increase for 2026-27 bus passes, field trips, and high-school transportation; the available record does not show a board vote on the increase.

Why it matters to families

The presentation also modeled removal of the AM East route, making both price and route availability important follow-ups for families who rely on district transportation.

The evidence

The official June package labels the increase proposed, breaks it into 3.76% CPI plus a 1.5% online-payment component, and notes a 2026-27 estimate that includes removal of the East route.
