Williams Bay board approves purchase of 10‑passenger van, updates vehicle‑use policy
Summary
The board approved buying a 10‑passenger van (cost not to exceed $75,000) and revised its vehicle‑use policy to cover district‑owned vehicles and safe transport of students at events.
The Williams Bay School District board approved the purchase of a 10‑passenger van on July 22, authorizing a purchase price not to exceed $75,000.
District officials said the change from a previously approved seven‑passenger vehicle came after further research found suitable 10‑passenger models; Dr. White noted federal and state rules limit passenger vans to 10 people. The board also discussed and approved revisions to policy 751.3 (use of private and district‑owned vehicles) to clarify when district vehicles may be used on school business and specific considerations for transporting students.
Board members said the larger van will provide greater flexibility for activities and that the revised policy will address safety expectations for drivers and passengers. The motion passed by voice vote.
