4.2. Discuss Lease Of Motor Coach Activity Bus
Discussion:
Mr Klein approached the board with a request to authorize the lease of a motorcoach bus. Buying one is approximately $300,000 and requires a lead time of 2 years. The motorcoach is a 56-passenger and exceeds the capacity of the current white bus and yellow bus. The recommendation would be to lease the bus for the remainder of the school year during the track season to determine if it would meet our needs/expectations. Going forward, we would enter into a multi-year lease option and explore options to wrap the bus. Matt was on hand to answer questions regarding mechanics and logistics.
