20. Board to consider and take action on
purchase of new vehicles.
Discussion:
Attached is the list Mr. Thompson obtained for the cost
of new school buses from Holt Trucking, Suburban's from Vance Auto Group, and ag pickup and extra car from Barber- Dyson. He states all vendors are contracted with the state, and if the school goes with the current list we will more than likely have the majority of the vehicles by July and will be saving money. If the decision is put off until May, the cost will be higher and the availability will take longer. He also added that the 14 passenger bus will not require a CDL to drive, the white buses need to be kept off dirt roads, the bonus yellow bus will be a 14 passenger handicapped. The activity bus will not be available until November, will have ac, and no air brakes. Board President, Bill J Clem, ask if the 2024 models have the same warranty as the 2025 and Mr. Thompson answered yes.

Discussion:
Mr. Thompson had gotten bids from M&D on different
sizes of riding mowers, and presented them to the board. After discussion among the board it was decided that he would look at getting a demo model with side discharge.

23. Board to consider and take action on
resolution for a grant.
Discussion:
The grant, if approved, could be up to $70,000.00
with the school having to pay 10% of that amount. It will be dealing with DOT. They will do all the dirt work and build a 4 lane track south of the football field. The main concern of the board was if they agreed upon signing the resolution, and it didn't work out for the school or they decided not to do it, were we locked into it. The resolution has to be authorized by the board by April 30th. The board agreed to move forward with the resolution and will do more research on the matter. It is not guaranteed that we will get approved for the grant money.
