KISD board adopts resolution related to SB 546, directs TEA reporting
Summary
Kerrville ISD trustees adopted a resolution under SB 546 concerning three-point seat belts on buses, directing the superintendent to submit fleet inventory, cost estimates, and the district's resolution to the Texas Education Agency while developing a fiscally responsible retrofit/replacement plan.
Kerrville Independent School District trustees voted April 20 to adopt a resolution on SB 546 and directed the superintendent to submit required reporting to the Texas Education Agency.
Presenters (Brent Ringo, Ed.D., and Jarrett Jachade) told trustees the resolution allows the district to report that its current budget does not permit purchase of compliant buses or retrofitting noncompliant buses at this time and that administrators will develop a fiscally responsible replacement and/or retrofit plan. According to meeting text, the board passed the resolution on a motion by Jack Stevens, seconded by Andree Hayes.
The board’s action begins the reporting steps SB 546 requires — including a fleet inventory and cost estimates — and signals the district will plan for future compliance while citing current fiscal constraints.
