Casey-Westfield School Board Adopts Amended Budget, Locks in Fuel Prices
The Casey-Westfield CUSD C-4 Board of Education formally adopted its amended budget for the 2025 fiscal year following a brief public hearing where no comments were offered.
The hearing was opened at 7:00 p.m. by Board President Tracy Gelb. Superintendent Mike Shackelford provided a summary of the amended budget, after which the hearing was closed at 7:17 p.m. Later in the meeting, the board voted unanimously to officially adopt the budget.
In a related financial matter, the board approved a two-year fuel contract with Bolin Fuels for the period of fiscal year 2025 through 2027. The district received bids from both Bolin Fuels and Illini FS. Shackelford recommended Bolin’s proposal, noting that based on a 35,000-gallon agreement, its bid was five cents per gallon less expensive for gasoline. The prices for #2 Diesel from both suppliers were described as “virtually the same.”
The contract covers gasoline, diesel, and oil, securing stable pricing for a major operational expense for the next two school years. This approval was part of a large consent agenda that passed on a single unanimous vote.
