Replacement of aging school buses is a focus of a proposition in La Porte ISD's $234 million bond package on the May 6 ballot. A district official said that many vehicles in the current fleet lack adequate air conditioning and seatbelts."Currently, our buses have poorly functioning air conditioning or no air conditioning, and they have limited seatbelts," said Adam Holland, the district's communications director.
Other money from Proposition A would fund an educational center/field house, improvements at all district schools and upgrades for facilities and safety and security. The district does not anticipate that approval of all three propositions in the package would result in an increase in its property tax rate, which is $1.2565 per $100 property valuation.
The bond proposal would allocate funds to replace four buses annually for over 10 years. The replaced vehicles would be a mixture of buses for general and special education uses.
