With the buses typically staged away from the garage,a remote system of fueling is essential. The general rule is one fuel truckper 75 school buses.”State recommends 1 fuel truck for every 75 buses:• 890/75 = 11• 942/75 = 12• 996/75 = 13Cost of 1,800 gallon fuel truck: $73,842Evidence or Reasoning for this Strategy:Currently, the department has 10 fuel trucks and is running 835 buseswith a projection of 890 buses for the 2007-08 school year. We need atleast 1 additional fuel truck to get close to meeting the recommendedratio by the State Board of Education. As the fl eet continues to grow bythe number listed above, we will need to add a fuel truck each year forthe next three years.Implementation Timeline & Budget Needed:2007-08 Amount Code1,800 gallon fuel truck $ 73,842 04.9300.801.551.0225.09802008-09Total: $ 73,842Less: one time cost fromprevious year($73,842) 04.9300.801.551.0225.0980Total: ($73,842)233 FY 2007-08 Plan for Student Success
