Board hears update on boiler exchanger problems and electric bus charging practices
Summary
Board members discussed a malfunctioning boiler heat exchanger and options for replacement quotes; trustees also reviewed electric‑bus charging schedules and were told buses are programmed to charge at higher voltage overnight.
Board member Douglas Eichten reported on March 10 that the district has ongoing issues with a boiler heat exchanger and has engaged Complete Control and the exchanger manufacturer to diagnose repairs. The district has also solicited a quote for a new boiler but had not received that estimate by the meeting.
Eichten also reported the district's electric buses are programmed to charge at a higher voltage from 9 p.m. to midnight and described daytime charging as lower‑voltage. "They should remain plugged in all day," he said, noting buses charge at a lower voltage during daytime hours. No formal action was taken; the board will await the vendor quote and further recommendations.
