Summary

The board approved hiring Henry Mann contingent on obtaining a CDL and reported all buses passed inspection after a brake repair; members discussed whether to purchase a bus or van and recent depreciation-rule changes that affect vehicle accounting.

Chair (S4) reported that a recent bus inspection found a brake problem on one bus that was repaired and that all district buses passed the follow-up inspection. Board members discussed vehicle procurement options, including whether to buy a new bus or a van now that legislation allows vans to be depreciated similarly to buses.

Superintendent Stacy Galloem (S1) told the board that an applicant, Henry Mann of Columbus, contacted the district about becoming a CDL driver; Mann does not yet hold a CDL but has relevant driving experience. The board moved to hire him contingent on receiving a CDL and approved the motion by voice vote.
