RFISD reviews state seat-belt requirement, to report bus belt inventory to TEA
Summary
Superintendent Brian Holt advised the board the district must report how many buses have 3-point, 2-point or no seat belts and estimate costs to add 3-point belts ahead of a 2029 state deadline.
Superintendent Brian Holt briefed trustees on a Texas Education Agency reporting requirement for school-bus seat belts. The district must inventory buses by seat-belt type (3-point, 2-point or none) and estimate the cost to install 3-point seat belts across the fleet. Holt noted state law requires 3-point seat belts to be installed on all buses by 2029.
Board members discussed the reporting obligation but took no action at this meeting; staff were instructed to prepare the inventory and cost estimate for TEA reporting. The minutes record that no formal vote or further direction took place during the session.
