During new business the superintendent described a bid to replace 19 district buses with pre-owned units roughly 3 to 4 years old, noting some buses in the current fleet are as old as 21 years.
The superintendent’s recap described the bid but did not explicitly state whether the board approved it at this meeting. District procurement and transportation staff should be consulted for vendor names, pricing, financing methods and the district’s vehicle-replacement schedule.
Replacing aging buses can affect transportation reliability, maintenance costs and fleet safety; the superintendent framed the proposal as part of routine operational planning.
