Splendora ISD approves purchase of five 78-passenger buses and one adapted bus

The Splendora Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Sept. 15 to approve purchasing five 78-passenger school buses and one 33-passenger specially adapted bus, according to the meeting minutes.

Trustee Dan Muirhead made the motion and Trustee Kimberly Klepcyk seconded it. The board recorded the vote as For 6, Against 0; Trustee Barry Welch was absent. The minutes list the vehicle counts and capacities but do not identify a vendor, total purchase price, funding source, or delivery timeline.

The bus purchase was handled as an action item; minutes do not show extended discussion or alternatives considered. The item may be tied to district transportation needs but the minutes do not specify which routes or programs the buses will serve.
