CISD adopts resolution saying district budget cannot fund three-point seat belts under SB 546
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution stating the district does not have budget capacity to replace or retrofit buses with three-point seat belts as contemplated by SB 546; board received fleet counts and retrofit cost estimates before voting 7-0.
Center ISD trustees approved a resolution related to SB 546 at their April 8 meeting, stating the district's budget does not permit replacing buses with three-point seat belts or retrofitting buses lacking seat belts. Board members received a detailed report showing the total number of buses in the fleet, which buses lack seat belts, and cost estimates to equip or retrofit buses with three-point belts before voting.
Trustee Casey Lout moved to adopt the resolution; Trustee Josh Burns seconded and the motion carried 7-0. The resolution records the board's fiscal determination but does not itself change fleet composition; any future purchases or retrofits would require funding and separate action by the board.
