One of many items addressed by the Chandler Unified School District Governing Board at its Oct. 23 meeting will help get students to and from activities.
The board unanimously approved a $750,000 maximum contract with Peoria Ford for new 15-passenger van purchases. A staff report says the vans will be used for “additional transportation for field trips and athletic trips districtwide.”
Tom Dunn, the district’s director of support services, said the reason for a discrepancy between a $432,000, six-van quote and the $750,000 contract total exists because CUSD eventually wants to order 10 total vans through Peoria Ford.
