Summary

The superintendent reported the district will receive two electric buses, is seeking one additional gas bus to extend fleet life, and will pursue vans with lift capability because the existing lift bus will be retired.

During the Superintendent's Report the board heard that the district expects to get two electric buses and will look for one more gas bus to replace aging vehicles. The minutes note the plan is intended to allow the district to delay further bus purchases for two to three years.

Because the bus with a lift is among those being retired, the administration said it will explore vans that have lift capabilities to maintain accessibility. The minutes identify the information as a superintendent report item; no formal action or funding allocation for these vehicle purchases was recorded in the meeting minutes.
