Winlock School District seeks approval to reinstall double‑walled fuel tanks at bus depot
Summary
Superintendent Michelle Jefferies told council the district reapplied to reinstall fuel tanks at the bus depot using double‑walled tanks after a November denial; the project would improve staff efficiency and likely proceed in summer once approved.
Winlock School District Superintendent Michelle Jefferies appeared at the April 27 meeting to discuss the district's application to reinstall fuel tanks at the bus depot. She said the district first applied in November, was denied, and reapplied in March to install double‑walled fuel tanks intended to improve staff efficiency.
Jefferies said the project would likely move forward in the summer or as soon as the city grants approval. The council did not take action at the meeting; Jefferies made herself available to answer questions prior to any approval decision.
Why it matters: on-site refueling can reduce bus route turnaround time and staff travel; the council and staff will need to confirm permitting and safety requirements before approving the installation.
