What must school bus contracts include?

Written contracts are required for all contracted bus transportation services.  The contracts should include requirements that the driver(s) and vehicle(s) meet all applicable state statutes and State Board of Education regulations.  This department also suggests that the contract include the reimbursement amount, the insurance required by the school district, and that the contract requires the tracking of ridership and mileage.  The contract must be on file in the school district's office (5 CSR 30-261.010).
