Board approves application for grant to buy three zero‑emission school buses
Summary
Trustees authorized staff to apply to the South Coast AQMD Lower Emission School Bus Program seeking funds for three Type A zero‑emission buses to replace aging diesel buses; motion passed 5‑0.
The Sulphur Springs Union School District board approved staff's application to the South Coast Air Quality Management District (South Coast AQMD) Lower Emission School Bus Program, authorizing pursuit of funding for three Type A zero‑emission buses to replace three aging diesel buses. Deputy Superintendent Dr. Joshua Randall presented the opportunity and the board voted 5‑0 to proceed.
Dr. Randall told trustees the district has previously participated in grant programs to modernize its fleet and that the current request would target replacement of three smaller (Type A) buses. The motion to approve the staff application passed by voice vote; the meeting minutes record the district's intent to request funding but do not include application details or award status.
The approval allows district staff to submit the grant application; any final purchase will depend on award notifications and further board approvals if funds are received.
