Board approves increase in bus fees
For the first time since 2010, District 225 will raise student bus fees by 3.7 percent for the 2015-16 school year. The district will continue to offer the 50 percent sibling rider and $25 online registration discounts.
"The district provides bus service as a convenience to our families and has always operated a break-even, or rider-subsidized program," said Assistant Superintendent for Business Hillarie Siena. "This slight increase for the upcoming school year will help to offset our projected transportation costs."
Cost of student transportation is:
* $700 if registered between April 6 - June 5, 2015 ($25 increase)
* $830 if registered after June 5, 2015 ($30 increase)
The official registration period runs from April 6 - June 5, 2015. After June 5, seats will be offered on an available basis and based on established stops and routes.
