Summary
Administrators described a 50% reimbursement LEO public-safety grant for a vehicle (requested up to $45,000, targeting ~$40,000), discussed new safety glass and fence replacements and reviewed an opportunity to purchase used buses; the board approved accepting the grant by voice vote.
District administrators updated the board on safety and transportation plans and asked for approval to accept a public-safety (LEO) grant.
Administration described the grant as a 50% reimbursement program and said they had budgeted a request up to $45,000 for a vehicle but planned to remain near $40,000 to provide flexibility (SEG 431–439). The same presenters described planned facility safety work including installing safety glass and repairing or replacing worn doors and portions of fencing that have deteriorated (SEG 343–351). The board moved to accept the LEO grant and approved the acceptance by voice vote after a motion and second (SEG 445–453).
During the discussion, members also raised transportation topics, including a possible purchase of three buses; administrators said they had identified a favorable deal on used low-mileage buses and noted timing differences (discussion indicated the purchase could be completed this year) (SEG 366–373). The item passed with a voice vote where recorded. No formal dollar commitment beyond the grant request was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
The board did not discuss detailed procurement solicitations for the vehicle in public beyond the grant acceptance; follow-up procurement steps were described as part of staff implementation planning.
