    On Tuesday, Superintendent Mike Deaton said the district's fleet is aging and it's time to replace the oldest one.

    "Obviously the money was budgeted for not only this year, but in the past couple of years, so that we would not have to finance the purchase of the bus and incur more debt to the district."
