The Eastern Pulaski Community School Corporation is getting a couple new school buses. The school board voted Monday to buy the two buses through Midwest Transit. “We had approval for a 78-passenger bus and then a 48-passenger bus,” explains Superintendent Dan Foster, “and that replaces one of our smaller buses that we use right now. It goes daily to Logansport. Actually, surprisingly, the prices weren’t much different for a 48-passenger to a 78-passenger.”
He says the larger bus ended up costing just over $90,000, while the smaller one cost nearly $86,000. That will be cut by a total of $6,700, once trade-ins are factored in.
Foster adds that the bid process went through the Central Indiana Educational Service Center, and three bids were received for each bus.
