Board authorizes proposition to buy up to four gas/diesel buses (no electric); cap $408,500
Summary
Proposition #2 authorizes acquisition of up to four gas/diesel school buses at a maximum estimated cost of $408,500; financing may include levy, bonds, or lease‑purchase depending on state aid and board determination.
The board reviewed Proposition #2, which would permit the district to acquire up to four gas/diesel school buses at a cost not to exceed $408,500. The proposition text explicitly states that "no electric school buses will be purchased."
The proposition allows the board to fund the purchase by levying the necessary tax, issuing bonds or notes, or entering into a lease‑purchase agreement, taking into account state aid. The district’s presentation did not specify how many buses would be purchased if the proposition passes; the proposition caps the maximum estimated cost at $408,500.
If approved by voters, the board will determine the financing method and bring forward procurement consistent with state purchasing and transportation requirements.
