District says electric-bus rollout progressing; aims for 20 buses by Phase 2
Summary
The sustainability committee reported the district has received four electric buses, charging stations are live, and the district expects a two‑phase rollout to reach 20 buses and state inspection once a five‑bus threshold is met.
A trustee sustainability update provided a status report on the district’s electric-bus program and a recycling pilot.
Trustee (sustainability committee) said student engagement at Kennedy Learning Center’s recycling pilot remains high and the program is a candidate for districtwide expansion in fall 2026. On transportation, the trustee said the district has received four electric buses; charging stations are operational and the state will inspect the fleet once a fifth bus is delivered. Additional buses will arrive in coming weeks, with a second phase later this summer; the district expects to reach a total of 20 electric buses at the end of Phase 2. Trustees also said electric buses reduce long-term maintenance costs and help insulate operations from volatile fuel prices.
The sustainability committee announced a site visit on May 5 to view the Kennedy recycling program and the electric-bus charging infrastructure and plans a public media event to highlight the district’s progress.
