The South Whidbey School District is buying two new school buses.

Assistant Superintendent of Business Operations Dan Poolman explained during a school board meeting this past week that the district’s Transportation Vehicle Fund has unexpected expenditures for the 2014-15 school year in the amount of $100,000.

Poolman, who is also in charge of the district’s transportation department, purchased one new school bus in the beginning of the school year.

The district ordered two more new buses in March.

He said the district has the money available, but he needed board approval to increase the budget for the fund.

The Transportation Vehicle Fund was increased from $334,000 to $434,000.

The board approved the request unanimously.

The buses are expected to arrive in time for the start of the 2015-16 school year, as Poolman said they are usually built and delivered within six months of ordering.
