Will taxpayers be asked to bail out School Bus Inc.?

I’m just asking the question a lot of other people are asking, If School Bus Inc. has to file bankruptcy or close down for any reason, will the Sioux Falls School District (taxpayers) have to bail them out?

I’m not sure what laws are in place to make that possible, but I’m not sure if the SFSD has a backup plan if the contractor shuts down suddenly. I also wonder why the district contracts with the company instead of just owning their own buses? I’m not sure what the rules are with that either. I think a lot school districts across the state contract the services, especially the larger districts, probably helps with a lot of headaches.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out, in the mean time I would make sure your kids have good sneakers and snow boots.
