Board approves purchase of Ford Expedition for student transport
Summary
Trustees approved buying a Ford Expedition under state contract pricing to expand the district fleet and meet student-transportation needs, including special-education and foster care transports.
The board approved purchasing a Ford Expedition to expand the district's vehicle fleet for student transport.
A staff member said the district previously recommended adding another Expedition and now "we actually need to add another 1." The purchase was justified by increased demand for transport during school events and for special-education and foster-student needs. Board members noted the price matched the prior state-contract cost and that the vehicle would be added before June 30.
The motion to purchase was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote under agenda item 7.7. The transcript does not record the exact purchase price beyond the statement that the state contract price remained the same; assignment of specific vehicles to staff was left to transportation administration.
