Kelloggsville Board OKs purchase of three new buses at $149,653 each

The Kelloggsville Board of Education voted unanimously June 10 to purchase three new school buses from Midwest Transit at $149,653 per bus.

The procurement was approved after a motion from board member Mrs. Groters and a second from Mrs. Tanis. The vote was recorded as six in favor and none opposed. The motion and vote were taken during the meeting’s action items following approval of the consent agenda.

The action follows the board’s approval of routine business earlier in the meeting, which included minutes, a personnel report and an expenditure report showing General Fund expenditures of $764,953.56, Food Service expenditures of $10,528.66 and Capital Projects expenditures of $101,288.66. Mrs. Scott reviewed the expenditures for the board before the consent vote.

The district did not attach further budget detail to the motion on the bus purchase during the meeting; the board voted on the bid as presented. The motion language recorded in the minutes states the purchase is for three new buses at the per‑unit price from Midwest Transit.
