Robinson ISD board adopts resolution saying district budget prevents SB 546 seat-belt retrofits
Summary
Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution declaring the district budget will not permit purchase or retrofit of buses with three-point seat belts as required by SB 546, as presented by Superintendent Dr. Michael Hope.
The Robinson Independent School District Board of Trustees considered school bus seat belt compliance and adopted a resolution noting budgetary limitations under SB 546. The motion, moved by Jabo Rubin and seconded by Alicia Williams, declared that RISD's budget does not permit purchase or retrofit of school buses with three-point seat belts as required by SB 546; the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes record the board's formal resolution but do not include financial figures or an implementation plan for how the district will address the statutory requirement in future budgets. The resolution as recorded cites budget constraints as the reason for noncompliance at this time; the district did not record further debate or an alternative timetable in the public minutes.
