Fuel Oil Prices and Future Outlook for Schools
The board hears from Tritt that current school fuel suppliers meet next year’s needs under existing contracts with two providers, one for No. 2 fuel and one for grades 4 5 6 fuels, and that price moves depend on winter conditions. The Wall Street Journal notes potential penny to five cent increases as mid‑west and New England prices vary, with Frederick County around 40 cents per gallon. Federal rules limit passing through higher costs, leaving banked costs to be recovered gradually, shaping local winter heating expenses.
