Summary

Saint Helena Unified approved delegation of authority to award electric bus charging stations and reviewed a written update on the district solar project; motion carried unanimously. The action advances transportation electrification alongside district energy planning.

The Saint Helena Unified Board of Trustees voted to delegate authority to award electric vehicle (EV) bus charging stations so procurement and installation can move forward. The motion to approve the delegation was made by Trustee Shawn Moura and seconded by Trustee Jeanmarie Wolf; the minutes record the motion as carried with all trustees voting aye.

Board members also reviewed a written update on the district solar project, discussing progress and next steps for district facilities' energy plans. Trustees framed the two actions as complementary steps in the district's broader work on energy and transportation retrofits.

Why it matters: delegating award authority clears a procurement step needed to secure EV infrastructure for district buses, and the solar project affects facility operating costs and long-term energy planning.
