The city of Framingham sued bus vendor Durham School Services last year, alleging it did not provide the required number of school buses and drivers when Framingham schools reopened in 2021 after pandemic shutdowns.
The former school bus vendor for the Framingham Public Schools agreed to reimburse the city $265,000 as part of a settlement to resolve a school bus service contract dispute in the 2020-21 school year during the pandemic.
The issue stems from a pandemic-era amendment to the school bus contract between the Framingham school system and Durham, its then-longtime school bus operator. Under the original contract, the city paid the vendor a daily rate per bus based on the total number of buses used to transport kids. Once schools started reopening in February 2021, the district alleged Durham provided just 54 of the required 77 school buses and drivers under their agreement, causing delays and missed pickups for hundreds of students.
Framingham school leaders said they made attempts out of court to recover the portion of the money it paid to Durham for services they argued were not delivered. The city took the case to court in late 2023, initially demanding $530,000 in reimbursements. The two parties eventually agreed to a settlement of $265,000, whereby Durham also does not have to admit liability.Petrini echoed Tremblay's sentiments, adding the deal recoups a majority of the money for the school district.
