Wyoming County Board approves driving-simulator bid for high-school driver's ed
Summary
The board approved a single RFP response for driver-simulator systems, funding the program through Title 5 and placing one simulator at each high school, after staff reported vendor references and implementation details.
The Wyoming County Board of Education voted to accept the only response to its driving-simulator request for proposals, approving installation of a simulator at each high school.
A staff presenter said the district received one RFP response and that the successful vendor had provided testimonials from other states and districts. "This came from VDI," the presenter said, noting the vendor materials and implementation plan in the board packet. The presenter also told the board the program "will be funded through title 5." The board moved and approved the recommendation by voice vote.
Board members discussed warranty and durability concerns and emphasized that simulators would be used under the direct supervision of driver-ed instructors. The superintendent noted the systems will allow students to practice in seasonal and four-lane driving scenarios that are difficult to replicate locally. The board approved the award unanimously.
