Board approves order for district bus after discussion of sizing and cost
Summary
After debating bus size, rear-engine options and noting a missing bill sheet, the board voted to approve a district bus order for the following year; staff were asked to obtain updated pricing and quotes.
Board members discussed the district’s proposed bus purchase, including a note from staff that the final bill sheet (detailed pricing) was not available at the time. Superintendent (speaker 2) and other members exchanged views on bus size and configuration — one member noted rear-engine buses increase capacity but may tighten seating. One participant said the current proposal "this is the 1 we're gonna order."
Following discussion, a motion to approve the bus order for the following year was moved and seconded; the board voted by voice and the chair announced, "Motion passes." The board asked staff to get updated quotes if lead times continue to delay delivery and to bring further details back to the next agenda as needed.
Quote: "This is the 1 we're gonna order," a board member said during the discussion (speaker 2).
The transcript records an approval vote but does not include a roll-call tally or a final contract price; the record shows the board approved moving forward with the order.
