_________

.95 - 1.42 - ave 1.185/mi - bus cost /mile

Average = 1.185 x 16 mi round trip K|SV - K|W = 18.96/trip plus driver costs

7 round trips per day @ 18.96/ trip = 132.72/day plus driver

180 school days per year = 23,889/ year plus driver

driver - 7 hours @20 = 140/day x 180 days = 25,200

25,200 + 23,889 = 49,089.60/year

x 20 years = 981,792,000 over 20 years

Kingsland Campus Bus (KC Bus) and Class Schedule - sample

8:00 - All buses arrive from morning routes, drop off students at K|SV

8:15 - K|SV 1st hour classes begin / KC bus(es) leave K|SV for K|W

8:30 - KC bus(es) arrive K|W

8:45 - K|W classes begin / KC bus(es) leave K|W for K|SV

9:00 - K|SV classes let out / KC bus(es) from K|W arrive

9:15 - K|SV 2nd hour classes begin / KC bus(es) leave for K|W

Repeat as needed and adjust for actual schedule.

KCB (Kingsland Campus Bus) schedule can vary as needed. Does not need to run every hour.

Special Note:

Chatfield and Fillmore Central both currently run buses through Wykoff - outside their districts.

Surely Kingsland can figure out a way to run buses within its district to serve its district.
