District 54 overcharged for busing

New leadership at Illinois Central School Bus makes good on over $200,000

Morris Elementary School District 54 is being reimbursed about $226,000 it was overcharged by the previous leadership of Illinois Central School Bus.

The school board Monday approved a billing issue resolution from Illinois Central School Bus for a 100 percent credit reimbursement for its November, December and January invoices, said Superintendent Teri Shaw on Thursday.

When the district was entering its fifth year of a five-year contract with Illinois Central School Bus it went to bid for bus service, explained Shaw. In doing so, it was evaluating its bus routes to see if there was a way to increase efficiency or to see if there was a way to share bus service with Saratoga School District 60c, as well as with Morris Community High School District 101 as it currently does.
