Board accepts hunting-lease high bids and approves purchase of two used buses
Summary
The board accepted high bids on multiple hunting-lease tracts (including a $77,000 bid read for a 640-acre tract) and approved buying two used 2021 71-passenger buses at about $92,000 each to add air-conditioned vehicles and save roughly $40,000 per unit compared with new buses.
The Caldwell Parish School Board accepted high bids for several hunting leases and approved the purchase of two used school buses during the meeting.
During the leases discussion, the board read high bids for multiple tracks (the clerk read names and figures including Chad Duncan for Track 4, listed as 640 acres with a $77,000 figure read aloud, and a $2,160 figure shown for a 160-acre tract as read). A board member moved to accept the high bids and the motion passed by voice vote.
The board also approved purchasing two used 2021 conventional 71-passenger buses with air conditioning and video systems at approximately $92,000 each. Presenters said the buses are low-mileage (under about 20,000 miles) and that buying used units would save about $40,000 per vehicle compared with previously purchased new buses priced around $130,000 each. The motion to accept the bus purchase was approved by voice vote.
