The finance committee reviewed several district purchases and expenditures that equal or exceed $500,000, including vehicle purchases, student-transportation diesel fuel and football equipment reconditioning and recertification.

Mr. Hawkes presented the vehicle purchase request and the related transportation diesel fuel contract for the district’s student transportation operations, and explained the fuel procurement supports bus services for to-and-from student transport. He also presented the annual football equipment reconditioning and recertification request and said the practice is part of the district’s safety protocol to certify equipment for student use.

Committee members had no substantive questions on these items during the meeting. Each purchase/expenditure was included in the finance committee’s recommended consent agenda for board approval.
