Summary

Superintendent Nicole Albisu told the board the district annually reviews its Malheur ESD local service plan and asked to add to the regular session agenda the purchase of two school buses this year to take advantage of a discount; Chair Uptmor agreed to add the purchase to the agenda.

Superintendent Nicole Albisu told the board the district annually reviews and approves a local service plan with the Malheur Education Service District (ESD) and that the district has adjusted services over the years to fit local needs.

Albisu also asked to add an agenda item for the regular session proposing the purchase of two school buses this year rather than one, citing a "good discount" available now; she said buying two now would mean the district would not need to purchase another bus next year. Chair Bret Uptmor agreed to add the bus-purchase item to the regular-session agenda for formal consideration.

The work session discussion did not include vendor names, purchase price, funding source or specific vehicle specifications; those procurement details will be provided in the regular session if the board moves the item forward.
