(1) All schools may seek Departmental approval to lease or buy a bus for operational purposes. Approval to lease or buy buses is subject to the preparation of a justification statement and endorsement from the Regional Executive Director.
The North Metropolitan Regional Office is assisting the principal of Warwick Senior High School with the preparation of a justification statement that will comply with vehicle leasing or purchasing and the WA Government Fleet Policy and Guidelines; Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Regulations 2002 (WA) and the Financial Administration and Audit Act 1985 (WA).
(2)The Department of Education does not directly fund the purchase, leasing or maintenance costs of school buses. The decision to obtain a school bus is a matter for individual school communities.
