Po«l Correspondent
Earmarked in Welches
School's $1.018,661 budget
for the 1982 82 school year
is $27.000 for the purchase
of a used school bus
S u p e rin te n d e n t Ken
Blackburn said the pur
chase of a new bus is
necessary because of the
condition of the district's
bus fleet
“ Unless we start con
sidering this now, we may
find ourselves in a position
of needing to buy several
buses,'' said Blackburn
The Government Camp
36-passenger bus, which is
a four wheel drive, is 11
years old and has 122,000
miles on its chassis Its
engine was replaced after
97,000
Recently Blackburn said
that the district's spare bus
broke down and the activi
ty bus had to be used as a
replacement, forcing the
cancellation of a basketball
game
The spare bus. said
Blackburn, has over 102.000
mile on it.
Blackburn said that “ the
total bus fleet relative to
total mileage is getting old
and needs to be replaced *’

W elches resid en t who
serv es as the P T A 's
re p re s e n ta tiv e to the
school board, said at a re
cent budget meeting that
he is in lavor of buying this
replacement bus but does
not feel the district should
buy others in the future just
because a bus has traveled
a lot of miles He recom
mended that the engines be
rebuilt, thus saving the tax
payers money,
“ 1 don't feel that as a
group we should buy a bus
every time it gets 50,000
m ile s
on
it,* *
said
Ostergren
“ We should
rebuild some of our others
to prevent them from get
ting us into this situation,*’
G ary Dietderich. vice
principal, said it isn't just
the engines that are a con
earn, but the bodies as well
B lac kb u rn said th at
maintaining a good bus
fleet is important because
they no longer can borrow
a replacement bus from the
Sandy Union High School
D is t r ic t . In case of
breakdowns, the district
would have to rely upon its
already ailing activities
bus to assist in emergen
ciea
Blackburn said that pro
viding a school bus service
is not mandated by the
s ta te , but g iv en the
economy in the Mt Hood
area, such transportation
is essential in getting
students to school
The longevity of a school
bus, said Blackburn, is
about 10 years He said the
s ta te D e p a rtm e n t of
Education depreciates the
buses each year and reim
burses the district about 50
percent for what it spends
for transportation.
Such things as gas, tires,
m a in ten a n c e, and the
salanes of bus drivers are
included in the reimburse
ment
The state reimbursts the
district anywhere from 60
to 70 cents per mile for
transporting students to
and from school, but does
not reim burse for ac
tivities. such as athletic
e v e n ts .
