Leander ISD says General Fund cannot currently fund three‑point seat‑belt buses required by SB 546
Summary
Administration recommended the Board determine the district's General Fund budget does not permit purchasing or contracting for buses with three-point seat belts to meet Senate Bill 546 requirements.
Administration told trustees that, based on a prior presentation and the district's fiscal constraints, the General Fund budget does not currently permit the purchase or contracting of buses equipped with three‑point seat belts as required by Senate Bill 546. The agenda states administration is bringing forward "this item for Board determination that the district's current General Fund budget does not permit the district to purchase or contract buses equipped with three-point seat belts in compliance with Senate Bill 546."
The item references an April 23 presentation that overviewed the law, fleet status, compliance considerations, and financial implications. Administration recommended the Board approve the formal determination. The packet does not record a Board vote or a plan for how/when the district may achieve compliance if funding becomes available.
