Newburg R‑II board approves purchase of 2024 Chevy Suburban for about $58,009
Summary
The board approved buying a 2024 Chevy Suburban (9-passenger) with a tow package for roughly $58,009 out the door, citing utility and potential savings compared with running a small bus; the motion was approved by the board in the meeting.
The Newburg R‑II School District board approved purchasing a 2024 Chevy Suburban to replace an aging district vehicle, with staff reporting an out‑the‑door price of about $58,009 (excluding title and license).
District staff explained there were few comparable 9‑passenger used vehicles available in the region, and the new Suburban included a tow package and manufacturer warranty. Supporters said the vehicle could reduce the need to use a full bus on some trips and save on driver costs. A board member moved to proceed with the purchase and the motion was seconded; the transcript records the motion as carried.
Board discussion touched on seating capacity (the vehicle is a nine‑passenger) and long‑term durability. No detailed financing plan was recorded during the public portion of the meeting; staff said the vehicle is available on a lot and included a dealer discount compared with earlier quotes.
