Levy Assisting Bus Purchases $33,000 towards bus purchase in 2014-15 $43,000 towards bus purchase in 2015-16 In order to get “caught up” we would like to fund $45,000 in 2016-17 and $20,000 in 2016-17. This should bring us to a point where we can purchase a bus a year with our depreciation funds and should reduce our bus maintenance costs.
