Finance Committee authorizes vans for special-education transportation
Summary
The Finance Committee voted 3-0 to allow district staff to buy vans to replace door-to-door special-education buses; funding for the replacement was already approved by the Board.
The Washington Community High School Finance Committee voted 3-0 on March 20 to authorize purchasing vans to replace buses used for door-to-door special-education transportation. Dr. Beverlin told the committee the existing buses are in need of replacement and that procuring vans would be "more cost effective."
Committee member Buck moved and Essig seconded the motion to authorize Dr. Beverlin to purchase vans based on pricing; the roll call vote was Yes — Essig, Buck and Kopinski, with no votes against. The committee record notes that funding for the project had already been approved by the Board.
The decision directs administration to proceed with vehicle acquisition within the previously approved funding parameters; the committee did not record additional conditions or detailed specifications for vehicle type in the meeting minutes. The motion and roll call are recorded in the minutes under the Special Ed Coop Fleet agenda item.
