The Hays USD 489 school board will discuss the purchase of three new buses at its work session at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Wilson Elementary School.

The purchase is part of the district’s transportation plan. One of the buses is a gas route bus, and the other two buses will be diesel route buses. The low bid was from Kansas Truck for a total of $279,223, which is $24,777 under budget.

The district’s transportation plan does not have the purchase of cars or Suburbans in the budget for this school year.

Rusty Lindsay, director of buildings and grounds, will give a presentation about infrastructure projects and the capital improvements budget for 2019-20.

The school board will also tour Wilson during its meeting.
