Summary
The McCall‑Donnelly board authorized purchase of a wheelchair‑lift school bus for $118,000, funding $59,267 from an EV bus heater rebate and $60,000 via a one‑time transfer from the Early Education Enterprise Fund, and approved limited ongoing use of that enterprise fund for one‑time capital items.
Superintendent Tim Thomas requested approval to purchase a wheelchair‑lift bus to provide special‑needs transportation, stating a suitable vehicle is available for $118,000.
The board approved using $59,267 from an EV bus heater rebate and a one‑time transfer of $60,000 from the Early Education Enterprise Fund to cover the purchase. The motion as recorded also authorizes the early education enterprise fund balance to be used for one‑time district capital improvements or purchases going forward as approved by the board. Trustees approved the motion unanimously.
The purchase decision assigns implementation tasks to district staff for procurement and funding transfers; the board did not specify delivery timelines in the meeting record.
