District seeks $587,648 in reserve funds to buy four diesel buses
Summary
Proposition 2 would allow the district to spend $587,648 from capital reserves to buy two 20‑passenger and two 64‑passenger diesel buses; presenters said the purchase uses reserves and carries no immediate tax impact.
District officials asked voters to approve Proposition 2, a one‑time use of capital reserve funds totaling $587,648 to purchase four diesel school buses — two 20‑passenger and two 64‑passenger vehicles.
Presenter (S3) said the bus purchases “have no taxpayer impact” because they would draw from existing reserves. The board explained the purchase would reduce reserve balances (the presenters noted roughly $2.6 million of reserves is earmarked for transportation and other uses) but would not change the tax levy. If the overall budget fails and the district must move to a contingent budget, officials said bus purchases would be prohibited under the contingency rules.
