Board authorizes vehicle purchases under Full Service Community School grant; one member votes no
Summary
The board approved authorizing vehicle purchases tied to a federal Full Service Community School grant (the district will buy vehicles, lease them back to meet grant rules, then retain them); the motion passed with one member (Anthony) recorded as voting no.
The board considered Item 11.5 to authorize vehicle purchases under a Full Service Community School grant. Superintendent Bill explained the procurement approach: the district will purchase vehicles out of the transportation fund, lease them to meet grant requirements, and ultimately retain the vehicles after reimbursement from the Regional Office of Education (ROE). "We actually lease it to them, and then we end up with the the vehicles at some point," Bill said on the record.
During the roll call the motion passed with one 'No' vote recorded (Anthony). Board members clarified procurement details and funding sources; staff will proceed with the bid process and final contract to align with grant requirements.
