Board tables broad bus proposal then approves purchase of one bus with deferred payment
Summary
After a 6-1 vote against a comprehensive School Bus Purchase Proposal, the board voted 7-0 to table the item for additional cost comparisons and later approved buying one bus from Stanley, with the first payment due after July 1, 2026.
The board considered a School Bus Purchase Proposal and initially rejected it, with the motion recorded as failing 6–1. Board members then voted unanimously to table the bus procurement until staff provided a cost comparison that included total cost versus contracting services, the cost of a smaller bus, and rider counts per route.
After that follow-up was discussed, the board approved a separate motion to purchase a single bus from Stanley, stipulating the first payment be made after July 1, 2026. The motions and tabling occurred during the same agenda item, and the board recorded both the failed and approved actions in the meeting minutes.
