Bullitt County board approves $1.1613 million purchase of seven school buses
Summary
The Bullitt County Board of Education approved the purchase of seven buses — five 72-passenger and two special-needs vehicles — for the 2027–28 school year, with a total cost shown in packet as 1.161291 million and the purchase included in the district budget.
The Bullitt County Board of Education voted June 15 to purchase seven school buses for the 2027–28 school year, the district said.
School leadership presented specifications for five 72-passenger buses with air conditioning and luggage compartments and two special-needs buses; all vehicles will be equipped with 6.7 diesel engines. The packet lists the grand total for the seven buses as 1.161291 million and staff said that amount is included in the district’s proposed 2027–28 budget.
The board moved, seconded and approved the purchase. Board members asked about air conditioning and whether the district was acquiring electric buses; staff confirmed the buses will have air conditioning and that they are diesel, not electric.
The approval follows routine procurement planning for student transportation and was presented as a budgeted capital purchase. No further procurement details or vendor names were specified in the meeting materials presented to the board.
