Board approves online auction plan to sell decommissioned school buses
Summary
The board gave staff permission to run a Public Surplus online auction for old buses (including special-needs buses), with a planned 15-day auction window and $500–$1,000 starting reserves; proceeds to return to the bus replacement fund.
District transportation staff requested permission to dispose of old buses through an online auction platform and to place resulting proceeds into the bus-replacement fund. The packet included a list of vehicles (77-passenger, 90-passenger and special-needs buses) and details about an open-house viewing period and auction schedule.
"The auction will run for 15 days," Mr. Hilton said while describing advertising plans and reserve amounts that will range from $500 to $1,000, and that buyer fees would be charged to purchasers rather than the district. The board voted 5–0 to permit bidding and to use the public-surplus online service; staff said the funds recovered will go back to the bus-replacement account.
