Huntington ISD board says district cannot currently afford buses with three-point seat belts
Summary
Trustees voted 5–0 (1 absent) on Feb. 23 that it is not currently feasible for the district to purchase buses equipped with three-point seat belts as required by Texas Transportation Code §547.701(e)(1); motion by Joshua Senn.
The Huntington ISD Board of Trustees considered whether the district budget could support purchasing school buses equipped with three-point seat belts in compliance with Texas Transportation Code §547.701(e)(1). Trustee Joshua Senn moved that "it is not currently feasible for the district to purchase buses with three-point seat belts," a motion seconded by Jacob Sapp; the board approved the motion 5–0 with one trustee absent.
The motion records the district’s present determination that the purchase is not feasible on budgetary grounds, as phrased by the mover. The minutes do not include a detailed financial analysis, timeline, or alternative plan for future compliance. No amendment or implementation timetable was adopted in open session; the board simply recorded the outcome in the meeting minutes.
