The board approved a five-year lease with Central State Bus Sales Inc. to lease four BlueVision 72-passenger gasoline buses. Staff explained the move largely renews existing leased units rather than increasing fleet capacity and that the district continues to study greener alternatives as part of longer-term transportation planning.
"It is not increasing the capacity of buses we already have," Kenya said, emphasizing that this transaction replaces coming off-lease units and updates the district's leased fleet. Board members were told the district is monitoring enrollment and special-education transportation needs that could require additional vehicles in the future.
