District discusses cell equipment near bus barn and potential electric bus grant priority
Summary
Superintendent said carriers proposed cellular equipment near the bus barn and the district is negotiating service or barter; she also said the district met about an electric bus grant and is a priority applicant with possible decisions around 2027–28.
Superintendent told the board communications companies want to add cellular equipment near the bus barn; she described the proposal as likely a modest installation ("not gonna affect the bus barn whatsoever") and said companies proposed barter or reduced‑rate services, such as phone service on buses, in exchange for siting equipment.
Separately, the superintendent said district staff met with representatives about an electric bus grant and that the district is a priority candidate; whether the project proceeds depends on the grant outcome, anticipated for the 2027–28 timeframe. The board heard no formal commitment and no vote was taken; staff will continue negotiations and report back if terms or timelines change.
