Centerville ISD says budget can’t cover $426,000 bus seatbelt retrofit
Summary
The Centerville ISD board voted 7-0 March 16 not to retrofit its bus fleet with seatbelts because the district cited a $426,000 retrofit cost and insufficient budget.
The Centerville ISD School Board voted unanimously March 16 to decline retrofitting its bus fleet with seatbelts, citing an estimated retrofit cost of $426,000 and the district’s limited budget. The motion not to retrofit was moved by Tommy Neyland and seconded by Trampas Rodell; the vote was recorded as Yea: 7; Nay: 0.
Board discussion in the minutes lists the retrofit cost explicitly and shows the board opted not to pursue the work as a budgetary decision. The minutes do not record an alternative funding plan or timeline for revisiting the issue.
