From the meeting
Mr. Priest said planning was underway for a proposed bus storage and maintenance facility on the middle school/high school campus. No solicitation was issued yet, so this is an early capital planning signal tied to transportation operations.
The next conversation is likely around scope, site needs, budget, and delivery method before design or bidding starts.
