CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO REPLACE REMAINING NON-AIR-CONDITIONED BUSES AND UPDGRADE CAMERAS (45 ROUTE BUSES AND 6 LIFT BUSES) AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION (Dr. Derrick White) Dr. Derrick White informed the Board that as we continue our commitment to provide a safe and comfortable transportation experience for students, he is requesting approval to replace the 51 non-air-conditioned school buses (45 route buses and 6 life buses) with 2026 air-conditioned buses. Dr. White went on to give an overview of the 2024-2025 school year compared to the 2025-2026 school year. Dr. White stated in addition to acquiring these air-conditioned buses, he is requesting upgrading the 51 buses with the REI Armor Camera System. Dr. White stated the system offers (1) live camera viewing (2) real-time bus health monitoring - tracking maintenance needs (3) driver performance insights speed monitoring/braking behavior and (4) continuous GPS tracking real-time location data. Dr. White the cost of this upgrade will be in the amount of $266,150.00. However, he looking to offset some of the cost with a projected savings of $148,800.00 when we return the buses that are no longer needed in our fleet. Dr. White asked that the Board please keep in mind this doesnt account for cost savings in fuel, maintenance, insurance and salary for those buses that will be removed from the fleet. Lastly, he stated implementing the REI Armor Camera System now will provide an opportunity to pilot the system within a smaller portion of our fleet. This will provide valuable data to determine whether a full-fleet rollout would be beneficial in the future. Dr. White thanked the Board for time and consideration of his request. President Norris called for Public Comment, Hearing none. President Norris called for a Motion.

Ms. Carmel Breaux stated she stayed because she anticipated this question. Ms. Breaux stated all updates (brake monitoring, GPS tracking, etc.) will be reported to the insurance carrier for next years auto liability renewal. These items should have a very positive impact on the auto liability renewal for next year. Mrs. Suzette Charpentier inquired do we currently have camera systems on the buses now and it is the same system we will be purchasing. Dr. Derrick White stated its the same system but the system will be upgraded only on the 51 buses.

Mr. Heath Hulin informed the Board that this will be a big change and it will take a lot to learn the software and to learn use it most efficiently. Mr. Hulin stated will change out these buses and the technology and take next year to maximize the technology. And we will expand the technology to the other buses when they come up for renewal.
