While the North East School District is currently planning to buy two newer higher capacity buses, I just noticed they have listed two older buses for sale on the district website. It makes sense to sell the buses to be replaced, but I wonder how widely the sale has been advertised.

There is a response form on their site if you’re interested in knowing more. If you regularly scan those pages looking for items for sale you might see the listings, but adding a public notice would get the word out to more potential buyers. That would maximize the sale price and the return to district taxpayers by reducing the net cost of the new buses.
Maybe there’s some high visibility advertising already in place that I’ve missed. I hope so.
