The board approved a Letter of Intent to purchase a school bus from Leonard Bus Sales; the purchase is contingent on voter approval set for May 19, 2026. Superintendent's report notes garage capacity for one EV charging station.
The Laurens Central School Board approved a Letter of Intent to purchase a school bus from Leonard Bus Sales; the minutes record the purchase as pending voter approval on May 19, 2026. The motion to approve the Letter of Intent was carried as part of consent/agenda items recorded Nov. 19, 2025.
In Superintendent B. Dorritie's report the board received a Task 8 report from Cornice and PFF Energy Solutions on bus electrification; the district's bus garage currently has capacity for one charging station, which constrains deployment of electric buses. The minutes do not record whether the Letter of Intent specifies vehicle type (diesel, propane, electric) or price; the purchase will be contingent on the voter-authorized funding and subsequent procurement details.
