Board outlines four propositions for May 20 vote, including two new buses and equipment
Summary
Administrators summarized four propositions on the May 20 ballot: the 2025–26 budget, election of four board members (three three-year terms and one one-year seat), purchase of two 65-passenger buses (max $357,000) and purchase of a van, plow truck and tractor (max $151,000) using reserve funds.
The board heard details of four propositions that will appear on the district ballot on May 20 at the Lakeview Campus. Josh said Proposition 1 asks voters to adopt the district’s annual 2025–26 budget; Proposition 2 is an election of four board members (three three-year terms to succeed specified incumbents and one one-year term to fill an existing seat that will take effect immediately after vote tallying).
Proposition 3 would authorize purchase of two 65-passenger buses at a maximum total of $357,000 using the transportation reserve fund; Proposition 4 would authorize purchase of a van, a plow truck and a tractor at a maximum total of $151,000 from the same reserve. Administrators emphasized those funds are already held in reserve and framed the purchases as capital items already planned for the coming year.
Board members asked clarifying questions about timing and how the 1-year board seat’s term begins immediately following the vote canvass; administrators confirmed the top three vote-getters would take standard terms beginning July 1 while the fourth-highest vote getter would fill the immediate one-year vacancy.
