Board acknowledges SB 546 bus seat-belt report, finds retrofitting unaffordable now
Summary
Bridge City ISD acknowledged the SB 546 School Bus Seat Belt Compliance Report and determined the district's budget does not allow retrofitting buses with three-point seat belts; administration was directed to file the required report with the Texas Education Agency.
Operations Director Joseph Reese presented the SB 546 School Bus Seat Belt Compliance Report to trustees. The board determined that the district's current budget does not allow retrofitting buses with three-point seat belts at this time and directed administration to submit the required report to the Texas Education Agency. The motion acknowledging the report and direction to submit was made by Judy Cole, seconded by Mark Anderson, and passed unanimously.
The minutes record this as a compliance and reporting action rather than an authorization for retrofitting or purchase. The district's determination that retrofitting is not feasible was described in the motion; no dollar amount or retrofit cost estimate was recorded in the minutes.
