Board approves Ford Expedition to expand student transportation
Summary
Trustees approved buying a Ford Expedition under state contract to address transportation shortages for special-education and foster-student trips; staff said the vehicle will help when buses or other rigs are unavailable.
The school board approved purchasing an additional Ford Expedition under state contract to increase the district's capacity for student transport. Administration said the district has been short on vehicles for weekday and weekend events and that special-education and foster-student transport needs sometimes require additional rigs.
"We've got some situations where we're transporting kids, and we are out of rigs," the staff member said, explaining the operational gap the vehicle purchase aims to fill. The motion to buy the vehicle was moved and seconded and carried; staff said the purchase will be completed before June 30 and that at least one vehicle may be reassigned to a family-care liaison for district use.
