Trinity ISD says it cannot absorb roughly $200,000 cost to retrofit buses with 3-point seat belts
Summary
Board adopted a motion stating the district cannot meet an approximately $200,000 requirement to retrofit buses with 3-point seat belts without burdening the budget; the motion passed unanimously.
The Trinity ISD Board voted April 27 that the district cannot meet a requirement to retrofit school buses with 3-point seat belts without imposing a budget burden.
Monty Huffman moved—and Ricky Hortman seconded—a motion that the district could not meet the requirement of paying approximately $200,000 to retrofit buses with 3-point seat belts. President Kevin Searcy called for discussion and the motion carried unanimously.
The board did not provide a detailed budget analysis or alternative timeline for compliance during the meeting. The motion records the district's fiscal concern but does not by itself change any external regulatory deadlines or clarify whether state or grant funding was explored; the transcript contains no such details.
