Bishop CISD adopts multiyear plan to meet SB 546 school-bus seatbelt requirement by 2029
Summary
Trustees adopted a multiyear replacement plan to bring buses into compliance with Senate Bill 546 by 2029, citing fiscal constraints to immediate replacement.
After an administrative report on Senate Bill 546 requirements, the Bishop CISD board adopted a multiyear bus replacement plan to achieve compliance with the statute by 2029. Trustees concluded it is fiscally infeasible to replace the entire fleet immediately and instead approved a phased replacement schedule.
Chief Edward Day presented options and implications for the district; following discussion the motion to adopt the multiyear plan passed 5–0. The minutes record the compliance target year (2029) but do not specify a replacement schedule or estimated costs in the meeting record.
