District transportation staff updated the board on the electric-bus pilot and charging plans. Mr. Feldman said three more electric buses will be delivered on Wednesday, representing three of the four vehicles voters authorized in May. He said the buses will undergo required Department of Transportation inspections before entering service.

Feldman described the district's current charging strategy: with a limited number of chargers, staff will stagger charging cycles and "juggle" buses to ensure availability. He said the district met with Wendell (a vendor/partner referenced in the presentation) and is preparing a submission to the State Education Department for the next round of charger funding. Trustees asked for a future report on bus performance, especially battery performance during cold weather; a trustee requested an update at a future meeting on usage, battery performance and operational experience.

The board heard trustees'observations from a recent convention where electrification drew discussion and acknowledged that implementation timelines and choices (diesel, hybrid, electric) may vary across districts. No formal action was taken; the update was informational.
