211
(b) Public Sc
hool Transportation funds are allocated in the amount of $187,002.3 $190,992.3 in 1
accordance with the transportation formula, as adopted by the State Board of Education on July 23, 1987, subject to 2
the following amendments and procedural modifications: 3
(1) The per gallon price used to calculate the fuel allowance shall be based on the state contract bid4
price f
or fuel plus $0.07 per gallon for districts and plus $0.31 per gallon for contractors. For5
districts and contractors north of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, the per gallon price shall be6
based on delivery to a large-sized tank (5,000 or more gallons). In the case of contractors located7
south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, the per gallon price shall be based on delivery to a8
small-sized tank (275 - 1,900 gallons). Upon determination by the Department of Education that a9
contractor located north of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and operating five or fewer buses10
does not have existing storage capacity in the large tank range, the per gallon price shall be based11
on the smaller tank size.12
The initial fuel rates shall be based on the state contract bid price as of June 1 of the 13
preceding fiscal year. Funding adjustment will be made when the annual average price increases 14
or decreases by at least $0.05 per gallon. The first review will be based on the annual averages 15
through December 31 of each fiscal year and additional reviews will be conducted each month 16
thereafter until April 30. Timing and frequency of fuel adjustments shall be determined by the 17
Department of Education, in collaboration with the Public School Transportation Committee. 18
Reviews may also be conducted at any time upon the request of the Director of the Office of 19
Management and Budget and the Controller General. Propane school buses will receive the same 20
fuel allowances and be subject to the same adjustment as diesel school buses; 21
(2) For the current fiscal year, the allowable cost of a new unused bus that was purchased by a22
contractor and put on contract and that was produced between January 1, 2025 2026 and23
December 31, 2025 2026 (as noted on the school bus identification plate) shall begin its seven24
year capital allowance schedule using the 2024 2025 state bid price for new school buses, minus 225
percent for salvage value, plus 11 percent to account for dealer charges and profits not reflected in26
the state bid price due to the higher number of buses being purchased and the lag time between27
ordering and delivery. Any bus produced on or after January 1, 2025 2026, must meet the current28
federal emissions requirements in order to receive a capital allowance. Any bus produced and29
212
placed in
service after January 1, 2025 2026 shall be entitled to an allowance based on the 2025 1
2026 state bid price. 2
A used bus placed in service shall utilize the allowance schedule which would have been 3
allowed had the bus been placed in service when new based on its production date. The bus shall 4
receive the remaining years of capital allowance. The Department of Education shall continue to 5
utilize the procedures developed in Fiscal Year 1989 for determining the allowable cost for any 6
size bus that it did not bid in Fiscal Year 2025 2026. In addition to the procedure for establishing 7
the allowable cost of a new bus specified above, the Department of Education is requested to 8
structure its bids for buses in Fiscal Year 2026 2027 in such a manner that public school bus 9
contractors will be permitted to purchase buses from the successful lower bidder at the same price 10
as the State of Delaware. If a contractor elects to purchase a bus at the bid price, the lowest base 11
bid of an awarded contract minus 2 percent for salvage value will be the allowable cost in 12
subsequent reimbursements to the contractor; 13
(3) For the current fiscal year, the fixed cost allowance for district and contractor buses shall include 14
funding f
or the provision of emergency communication devices. The Department of Education is 15
authorized to bring school districts or private contractors operating school buses equipped with 16
cellular phone technology under a state negotiated cellular phone contract; and 17
(4) For district operated pupil transportation services, bus driver and driver aide salaries shall receive 18
an increase commensurate with the general salary increase enumerated in Section 8 of this Act in 19
years in which one is provided. 20
(c) Except as specified in this section, or for changes in the price of fuel, or for the adjustments of those 21
items changed by state or federal laws, the Department of Education shall not change the transportation formula 22
unless the change has been authorized by the General Assembly and an appropriation therefore has been made by 23
the General Assembly. 24
(d) The Department of Education shall calculate the formula amounts for each district as provided herein 25
but shall only provide 90 percent of such calculation to each school district. The contract formula amount is the 26
maximum funding that any public-school transportation contractor is eligible to receive through a combination of 27
state and local funds. Homeless transportation funding shall be provided to school districts and charter schools at 90 28
percent of the total cost for approved, eligible students. This excludes transportation for foster children. 29
213
(e) Of t
he appropriation allocated for public school districts, funding is allocated to purchase air 1
conditioned buses to transport special need students. The Department of Education is authorized to allow the 2
purchase of air-conditioned buses required to transport special education students that have a medical need for air 3
conditioning (specified by a physician). 4
(f) It is the intent of the General Assembly that, to the maximum extent possible, any funds provided5
through the school transportation formula to provide hourly rates for bus drivers, that these funds shall go directly 6
toward increasing the salaries of bus drivers and to address workforce shortage and retention issues. 7
(g) It is the intent of the General Assembly to make progress toward implementing the recommendation of8
the Public School Transportation Working Group to address school bus operating cost factors not reflected in the 9
school transportation formula, which has been in existence since 1977. These factors include, but are not limited to, 10
environmental compliance requirements for school bus maintenance, maintenance costs of advanced technology on 11
school buses, and school bus driver training requirements. 12
(h) $965.1 is allocated to increase the minimum hourly rate for bus drivers.13
(i) $750.0 is allocated to increase the insurance allowance for bus routes North and South of the Canal.14
Section 304. (a) All s chool districts shall be required to utilize Busology, a computerized routing system 15
for school bus transportation, provided by the Department of Education to create school bus routes. Schools are 16
encouraged to maximize the capabilities of this system to derive transportation efficiencies to contain increasing 17
costs. 18
(b) The department is directed to continue to provide bus transportation services to any residential area19
which has r
eceived transportation services since October 1, 1977. 20
