Trustees approve bond-funded upgrades to meet three‑point school bus seatbelt requirements

The Lovejoy ISD Board of Trustees approved a recommendation to use 2025 bond funds for capital expenditures required to bring school buses into compliance with three‑point seatbelt requirements. The item was presented by Chief Operations Officer Kyle Pursifull and approved on a motion by Trustee Jason Jaynes, seconded by Trustee Barrett Owens; the vote was unanimous (6–0).

The transcript records authorization for bond-funded transportation safety upgrades but does not list vendor names, per‑vehicle costs, the total dollar amount, or an implementation schedule in the public minutes. The board’s approval authorizes staff to proceed under the district’s bond procurement and capital‑project processes.
