Wills Point ISD board says full replacement for SB 546 seat‑belt standard is not financially feasible
Summary
The board voted that purchasing new buses with three‑point seat belts to replace buses without them is not financially feasible under Senate Bill 546. The motion was moved by Jim Lamb and seconded by Jesse Everett and carried unanimously among those present.
The Wills Point ISD Board of Trustees considered compliance with Senate Bill 546, which concerns three‑point seat belts on school buses. Jim Lamb moved that purchasing new buses with three‑point seat belts to replace buses without those belts is not financially feasible; Jesse Everett seconded and the board approved the motion.
The minutes do not record a dollar estimate for the replacement nor a timeline for alternative compliance steps. The action formalizes the board's finding that immediate fleet replacement to meet the statute's three‑point seat‑belt expectation is not financially feasible; the record does not indicate alternative measures such as retrofitting or phased replacement.
