$30M school bus contract up for renewal

What happened

The Legislative & Contracts Subcommittee's August 19, 2026 agenda lists a recommendation to renew the district's school bus transportation contract for $30,000,000, alongside more than a dozen other contracts totaling well over $40 million more, including special-education transportation, out-of-district special-education tuition, and curriculum materials.

Why it matters to families

This is the subcommittee stage, so nothing is final yet, but a $30 million bus contract is one of the largest single line items the district handles, and it is on the agenda alongside a broader discussion of how the committee reviews and approves contracts.
