Board approves bus-route change and authorizes JH/JV travel; administrators flag bus replacement need
Summary
The board approved a route change that added about 20 miles to one driver’s run, authorized junior-high/junior-varsity football travel to nearby towns and potentially Canada, and heard administration estimate replacing an aging bus at roughly $130,000–$150,000.
The Scobey K-12 Schools board approved an adjusted bus route that added approximately 20 miles to Dorothy's run to serve a child near Redstone/Metis, and authorized junior-high and junior-varsity football teams to travel to Crosby, Tioga and potentially Canada for games as presented by district staff.
Staff member S2 described the route change at packet time: "He changed Dorothy's route by 20 miles." Committee member S3 moved to approve the adjustment; members then discussed travel options for junior-high and junior‑varsity competition, noting the district's limited pool of nearby opponents. The board approved travel to Crosby, Tioga and potential cross-border games by voice vote.
During facilities and operations discussion, staff raised the district's need to replace an aging bus and said they would seek quotes. S5 estimated the replacement cost at about $130,000 to $150,000, and members directed administration to gather formal bids and to consider transportation funding and scheduling impacts in the near term.
