Background:
|
|
CUSD 200 has an existing contract for bus transportation services with Illinois Central School Bus, that includes all daily general and in-district special education routes. The contract with Illinois Central includes a fuel surcharge clause, which requires CUSD 200 to reimburse Illinois Central for diesel fuel that costs more than $1.95 per gallon, plus the federal excise tax ($0.243). CUSD 200 has negotiated with Illinois Central to remove the fuel surcharge from future contractual agreements by taking over the purchase of fuel directly by the Business Office in CUSD 200. |

Summary:
|
Currently, CUSD 200 and Keeneyville SD 20 are serviced by Illinois Central Bus Company in a cooperative manner out of a bus barn/facility in Carol Stream. No other school district is serviced out of the Carol Stream facility.
With CUSD taking over direct control of fuel purchasing at the Carol Stream site, we have offered Keeneyville SD 20 the service of purchasing fuel on their behalf too. This allows both school districts to use the two existing 2500 gallon fuel tanks on site in Carol Stream and not purchase new tanks, provides access to tax savings for both schools districts and offer full control over fuel purchasing for both districts.
Keeneyville SD 20 has expressed favor in the future of a fuel purchasing program and a desire to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with CUSD 200 for a period of three years, which coincides with the proposed extension with Illinois Central.
Keeneyville SD 20 Administration will be asking the Keeneyville Board of Education for approval of the IGA during the week of April 15th, 2024. If both School Board's approve the IGA as proposed, we will immediately begin securing fuel for the 2024-25 school year. |
