Board discusses on-site DOT inspections and recent bus repairs ahead of school year
Summary
Transportation director reported Bus 19 returned from the shop and multiple buses passed 80‑day inspections; the board discussed shifting 80‑day inspections on-site to a local mechanic at about $100 per vehicle to reduce staff travel time.
Dan Robison, the district transportation contact, told the board that Bus 19 (activity bus) has returned from the shop after an extended repair period and that buses #4 and #18 had king pins replaced; Bus 15 remains in the shop for an ABS issue. He said all four buses passed their 80‑day inspections.
Board members and Superintendent Foster discussed options for 80‑day DOT inspections after Gator Road stopped providing the service. The record notes the district is exploring on-site inspections behind the wrestling room and a local mechanic, Jacob Bourge, who could perform inspections at about $100 per vehicle; buses needing full shop service would continue to use Inland.
