Summary
Trustees accepted administration's presentation on seat-belt equipment across district-owned and contracted buses, acknowledged estimated costs to retrofit buses, and authorized submission of the required report to the Texas Education Agency under Senate Bill 546.
District administration presented the board with the information required under Texas Senate Bill 546 concerning seat-belt equipment on school buses.
