Committee redirects 22i and FAFSA grants to buy district bus and van; Board review set for April 15
Summary
After new FAFSA Challenge grant funds arrived, the committee shifted its budget-amendment plan: 22i grant funds will buy one bus in 2025–26 and FAFSA funds will buy one van; both items will go to the Board of Education on April 15, 2026.
The Finance & Personnel Committee revised its earlier plan for vehicle purchases in the 2025–26 budget amendment after the district received new funds through the Universal FAFSA Challenge. Committee minutes state the updated plan uses 22i grant funds to purchase a bus in 2025–26 and the FAFSA grant to purchase a van; additional details about potential van utilization will be gathered for Board consideration.
The minutes note that the committee asked administrators to collect more information about how a van would be used before Board approval is sought. Both the bus and van purchase proposals are scheduled to be considered by the Board of Education at its April 15, 2026 meeting.
