Board approves disposal of two aging buses; district to retain one for parts
Summary
The board approved selling Bus 69 and Bus 70 via OnlinePros.com, noted three buses are over 21 years old, and expects replacement buses to arrive in roughly 3'6 months for the 2026-27 school year.
The board voted to dispose of Bus 69 and Bus 70 through OnlinePros.com after Dr. Blaylock told trustees that three district buses are over 21 years old. "Dr. Blaylock suggested that 3 buses are over 21 years old. Dr. Blaylock is proposing the disposal or auction of 2 of those buses, and 1 to be saved for parts," the meeting record states.
Board members discussed how long it would take to secure the two replacement buses that had been approved at the November meeting; Dr. Blaylock said it typically takes "3 - 6 months," and the district expects to have replacements in time for the 2026-2027 school year. The motion to dispose of Bus 69 and Bus 70 passed with a unanimous recorded vote of trustees present.
The board also discussed retaining one older unit for parts to support remaining vehicles until replacements arrive.
