Board determines budget cannot support buses with three-point seat belts
Summary
Trustees voted 4-0 to determine the district budget cannot support purchasing buses equipped with three-point seat belts as required by Texas Transportation Code Section 547.701(e)(1).
Superintendent Dr. Russell Marshall presented the board with the statutory requirement in Texas Transportation Code Section 547.701(e)(1) regarding three-point seat belts on school buses and asked trustees whether the district budget could support purchasing buses equipped with them. Secretary Robby Teague moved and Trustee Dustin Conner seconded a motion that the board had determined the budget could not cover those purchases; the motion passed unanimously, 4-0.
The motion formally records the board’s budget determination, which the minutes state was based on current district financial capacity. The minutes do not provide a cost estimate in dollars or a procurement timeline; trustees who raised questions did not request an immediate funding plan during this meeting.
