Meade School District approves wheelchair-accessible van and amends capital outlay budget
Summary
The Meade School District Board approved the purchase of a wheelchair-accessible van for $32,090 and amended the capital outlay budget to cover the cost; the purchase and amendment passed unanimously among members present.
The Meade School District 46-1 Board of Education approved the purchase of a wheelchair-accessible van for $32,090 and amended the district's capital outlay budget to fund the purchase during its Aug. 11, 2025, regular meeting.
Board member Megan Snyder moved to approve the vehicle purchase and Terry Koontz seconded. The motion carried. The board then approved a corresponding $32,090 amendment to the capital outlay budget (motion by Brian Voight; second by Scottie Bruch) to provide the funding.
Business Manager Brett Burditt presented the purchase amount to the board. The board record lists the cost as $32,090.00 with payment due upon delivery; details about vendor, delivery timeline, or whether the van replaces existing equipment were not specified in the meeting record.
The budget amendment was recorded as an increase to the capital outlay appropriation by the same amount. The district did not specify alternative funding sources or whether the purchase will require future operational expenditures tied to maintenance or insurance.
The board took the action as part of a slate of routine business items during the meeting. The next procedural step recorded in the meeting minutes is the implementation of the amended capital outlay budget; no additional public hearing or separate vote for vendor award was recorded.
