Board approves request to pursue purchase of district vehicle(s), prefers electric/hybrid options
Summary
The board approved a request to acquire VLTC vehicle(s) for student transport and staff travel, with a stated preference for electric or hybrid models, Toyota or Honda brands, local purchase (preferably Colville Toyota), and an $85,000 budget target for one or two vehicles.
The Valley School District Board approved a request on Aug. 20 to purchase one or more VLTC passenger vehicles for student transport and staff travel. Superintendent Dr. Mandi Rehn recommended the purchase; the board discussed preferences including electric or hybrid models, a preference for Toyota or Honda, and buying locally, preferably at Colville Toyota. The minutes note a target budget of up to $85,000 and state that two vehicles would be ideal if that could be accommodated within the budget.
Director Crystal Hubert moved to approve the request to purchase a VLTC vehicle or vehicles from the TVF as recommended; Director Paul Voelker seconded and the motion carried. The minutes do not supply a roll‑call vote tally.
The minutes record the board’s procurement preferences and budget guidance but do not include vendor quotes, procurement timeline or financing details; those items will be managed through the district purchasing process.
