Cameron ISD discusses budgeting for SB 546 three-point seatbelts; trustees approve contingent bus purchase pending TERP funding
Summary
Trustees discussed SB 546 and budgeting to update all buses to three-point seatbelts and later approved a motion to purchase school buses contingent on TERP grant funding; multiple motions related to transportation and safety passed 6-0.
The board discussed Senate Bill 546 and how the district will budget to update all school buses to comply with three-point seatbelts. Trustees framed the conversation as a budgeting consideration tied to state requirements rather than an immediate purchase order.
Separately, trustees approved a motion to purchase school buses contingent on approval of funding by the TERP (Texas Emissions Reduction Program) grant. The bus purchase motion passed 6-0 (Linda Richter absent). The minutes record the district’s intent to align future bus procurement with SB 546 compliance and available grant funding.
