Summary
UGISD reported quotes totaling $457,910.38 to install three-point seat belts on buses covered by SB546 and recorded that the district will not proceed at this time due to the financial burden.
District materials presented at the Dec. 8 Union Grove ISD board meeting reported that quotes to retrofit school buses lacking three-point seat belts would total $457,910.38.
The minutes state the district will not proceed with retrofits "at this time" because of the financial burden the project would place on the district. The information item was listed under SB546 required reporting of school bus seat-belt costs; no motion or vote was recorded to allocate funds or request a waiver during the meeting.
The minutes do not attribute the cost estimate to a specific named speaker; the figure appears in the information report provided to trustees. The board did not take formal action to pursue retrofitting at this meeting.
