Board declines bus purchases under state code and votes not to establish a Daily Prayer Period
Summary
Trustees determined the district budget does not support purchase of eight new buses with three-point seat belts under Texas Transportation Code §547.701(e)(1) and voted not to establish a Daily Prayer Period as outlined in Senate Bill 11; both motions passed unanimously.
The board determined, under Texas Transportation Code §547.701(e)(1) (as amended by Senate Bill 546 of the 89th Texas Legislature), that the district's current budget does not support purchase of eight new school buses equipped with three-point seat belts. Mrs. Rodgers moved the determination and Mr. Rodriguez seconded; trustees voted unanimously to adopt the finding.
Separately, the board considered whether to establish a Daily Prayer Period as outlined in Senate Bill 11. Mr. Jones moved and Mrs. Rodriguez seconded that the board will not establish a Daily Prayer Period; the motion carried with all trustees voting in favor.
Both votes were recorded as unanimous. The transportation determination references state statute language noted in the minutes; the minutes do not record alternative procurement options or timelines for future bus purchases.
