The Argyle board of trustees purchased four school buses during its Nov. 14 meeting.
The board approved the purchase of three standard school buses and one special education school bus for $539,316, according to the agenda.
Funding for the buses comes from the 2022 bond and a grant. The grant funds $119,925, and it will be reimbursed to the district when district officials provide the proof of purchase by April 30, according to the agenda.
The need for the buses comes as the district continues to grow, according to district officials. The three standard buses seat 77 passengers.
