Free Bus Plan Raises Need for More Buses in Biddeford
Biddeford School Board reviewed a survey by Supt. Raymond Kenneally showing about 300 high school students would qualify for free bus transport if provided. The plan would require at least four more buses at a cost of roughly $13,000, with final figures dependent on board rules. The board tabled action for further study, invited a bus operator to next meeting to check prices, approved $190 for thermos containers for hot lunches, and authorized starting a driver education program after the Christmas break.
