The ESASD School Board Finance Committee met on September 15, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement discussions included the sale of end-of-life school buses totaling $97,150, with additional buses pending sale and removal from insurance. The committee reviewed a grant-funded defensive driver training program for school bus drivers, recommending the Smith System vendor due to its cost-effectiveness and comprehensive training materials. Capital project payments and custodial supply purchases were also reviewed, with one member abstaining from voting on a specific lighting project payment. The committee approved motions to recommend these procurement actions to the full board. Additionally, the meeting covered budget expenditure tracking, revenue updates, and an elementary music program donation of five-gallon buckets for bucket drumming, though this was informational only and did not require board action.
