Board buys two new school buses for $311,000
What happened
On February 23, 2026 the board approved buying two new buses from Yancey Bus Sales and Service for $311,000. PCA runs 7 bus routes. The minutes say two battery-powered buses are not reliable and other buses on the lot are over 23 years old and used only for parts.
Why it matters to families
This is one of the school's largest purchases of the year and is meant to keep bus routes running.
The evidence
The February 23, 2026 board minutes list the fleet ("three 2018 year model buses, two 2014 year model buses and two battery powered buses that are not reliable") and record a unanimous vote to buy 2 buses "for the purchase price of $311,000."
