District updates bus safety and maintenance plans; considers propane transition
Summary
Superintendent Nick Kaiser briefed the board on transportation upgrades including new bus cameras and radio app updates, and outlined goals to update gas tanks, consider a transition to propane, and improve bus rotation schedules and undercarriage work.
Superintendent Nick Kaiser updated the board on transportation operations and planned maintenance: the district installed cameras on all buses and updated radio software during spring break, and Transportation Coordinator Laura Ulrich has been scheduling spring sports transport. Kaiser outlined goals for the department, saying the district is looking at "updating gas tanks, transition to propane vs. diesel, bus rotation schedule, and undercarriages on our trip buses."
Administration framed the items as part of ongoing efforts to improve safety, reduce operating costs, and ensure reliability for extracurricular travel. The board did not take formal action on vehicle purchases; staff will continue planning and return with cost estimates and recommendations.
