Board adopts resolution to advertise bids for school buses (Res. 2026‑03)
Summary
The board adopted Resolution No. 2026‑03 to advertise and receive bids for school-bus purchases, a routine non‑binding solicitation to gather pricing ahead of possible purchase later in the season.
The Fairfield Union Local Board adopted Resolution No. 2026‑03 to advertise and receive bids for the purchase of school buses. Superintendent Caldwell described the step as an annual, non‑binding solicitation to check current prices; actual purchases typically occur later in the winter or early spring when availability and pricing are clearer.
"This is an annual thing... This does not commit us to actually [purchase]. Purchasing usually happens late winter, early spring," Caldwell said while explaining the timeline for bids and potential purchases. The board moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll call. No funding commitment was made at the meeting; the resolution simply authorizes staff to advertise and accept bids.
