  • Risbrook emphasizes that flexibility would be part of any new contract, but the exact language is subject to negotiation.
  • The exchange highlights the ongoing nature of contract planning and the lack of concrete details at this stage.

Could you be a little bit more specific on what you mean by flexibility and how we're going to work with the school bus contracts to be able to, especially for students in temporary housing, on the new contracts, how are you going to be able to add and modify the routes very quickly?

Again, any provision in a new contract as yet to be determined, I I can't say that right now.

So you aren't aware of how you're going to write in language that is going to provide you the flexibility?

What I can say is that flexibility would be part of any new contract.

But what language they have will be negotiated and agreed to, I cannot tell you at this time.
