This is a pre-RFP signal that the district may seek leased buses or transportation services in the near term, potentially impacting fleet size, routes, and operating budgets.Vendors providing school bus leasing, fleet management, or transportation consulting could engage to help shape options, cost models, and implementation schedules before any formal solicitation is issued.

Transportation topics included current trips and bus needs along with leasing positives and negatives, suggesting evaluation of different models rather than a decided path.
