(KLZA)-- Cheaper fuel and gas prices were a big boost to the Falls City Public Schools transportation Department this past school year.
Transportation Director Rob Baker presented his annual report to the Board Monday night, highlighted by a nearly $20,000 savings in fuel prices for the year. Baker noted that approximately 290 District 56 students are transported daily on regular rural routes.
Further discussion was held concerning the transportation replacement schedule. District 56 will seek bids for two, 11-passenger vans to go into service during the 2016-17 school year.
Superintendent Tim Heckinlively recommended the consideration of a motor coach bus be researched further before a decision is made on the future purchase of an activity bus.
