What happened

Trustees approved a $377,000 2025 Davey 45-passenger activity coach from the bus depreciation fund in October 2025, and a $75,800 E-rated route bus in August 2026. Two old buses sold at auction for $2,650. A sixth bus route was added in September 2026.

Why it matters to families

Bus depreciation is a levied fund, so these purchases affect taxes and future replacement plans.
