Archer City ISD board: district budget won’t support purchase of buses with three‑point seat belts under SB 546
Summary
Trustees voted unanimously to approve a recommendation on SB 546, concluding the district’s current budget cannot cover buying buses equipped with three‑point seat belts; the motion was approved April 27, 2026.
At its April 27, 2026 regular meeting, the Archer City ISD Board of Trustees approved a recommendation on SB 546 concluding the district’s budget does not allow for purchase of buses equipped with three‑point seat belts. Trustee Jacie Ferguson moved the recommendation and Trustee Taylor Weaver seconded; the motion passed unanimously (Kelly Wooldridge, Taylor Weaver, Jacie Ferguson, Tommy Keeter and Beau Reneau voted yes).
The board record does not specify alternative timelines or funding sources to make such purchases. The minutes show the action as a budgetary determination only; no staff motion to pursue bond funding, grants, or other external resources was recorded at the meeting. The board took the recommendation as a formal position related to SB 546 rather than adopting a purchase plan.
