Contracting for Transportation Services
If the board enters into a contract for transportation services, the contractor will operate such equipment according to district policy and the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education. The contract will be in effect for no more than five years. Prior to entering into such a contract the district will determine that the cost of contracting will not exceed the projected cost of operating its own system. Such assurances will be submitted to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for approval.
