Snyder ISD approves 14-passenger Tiny Tiger to ease transportation strain
Summary
Trustees approved purchase of a 14-passenger Tiny Tiger mini-bus included in the 2025—2026 budget to address consistent near-capacity use of district Suburbans and Tiny Tiger vehicles; the vendor's limited procurement window made timing important.
During the May 14 budget workshop, trustees authorized purchasing a 14-passenger Tiny Tiger mini-bus to increase transportation flexibility and reduce reliance on vehicles that require a commercial driver's license. District materials noted the vehicle was included in the 2025—2026 budget but not yet expended and that delaying purchase could push cost and procurement into the next fiscal year due to a vendor waitlist.
The motion to approve the Tiny Tiger addition was made by Haley Leatherwood and seconded by Jennifer Taylor; the motion passed unanimously. District staff framed the purchase as a practical response to heavy fleet utilization and noted the vehicle's operation does not require a CDL, expanding driver options for campus transportation needs.
