To sell or not to sell
Should the Wilmington city school district (WCS) sell its
buses and outsource student transportation to a private company? As reported in
the DDN 6/2/13 edition the Valley View School District did just that.
The 2,000-student, Germantown district
sold its 21 buses and leased operational space for $547,770. This cash sale and
related savings will result in a first year total of savings and sales of
$770,000. Out year savings will be $30,000 plus maintenance and replacement
costs of as much as $160,000.
The 3,145 student WCS owns 28 buses with a transportation budget of $1,284,000.
Should the Board of Education ask private companies for proposals for
proposals?
What are the down sides of such a shift
in student transportation?
