Board reviews plan to surplus 15 old buses after $1.5 million Volkswagen grant
Summary
Staff told the board a $1,500,000 Volkswagen grant funded 15 new buses and requires scrapping 15 older 2008–2009 buses; a board member confirmed separate prior donations to the sheriff and library were not part of the surplus list.
The school board was told staff must declare 15 older school buses surplus after the district received a $1,500,000 grant from Volkswagen that funded purchase of 15 replacement buses.
At the first-read presentation staff said the buses identified for surplus are model years 2008–2009 and were selected because they have reached mileage and condition limits. A board member asked whether a bus already donated to the sheriff’s litter-abatement program was included; staff replied the sheriff’s donation and a prior library donation were separate and that the 15 buses on the surplus list are distinct.
The item was presented as a first read; no vote was recorded at the study session. The board packet includes a list of the vehicles proposed for surplus and staff noted the Volkswagen grant’s conditions require retiring the matching number of older buses.
