Ten years is a long time for a school maintenance vehicle.
‘The trucks are used year round, plowing snow and salting parking lots in the winter and pulling trailers with mowing equipment in the summer,? Building and Grounds Director Wes Goodman reported Nov. 12 to the Clarkston Board of Education.
‘It is in our best interest to replace this 10-year-old truck before it becomes a costly maintenance issue.?
The school board approved the request to replace the 1997 Chevrolet pickup truck with a 2007 GMC 2500 HD pickup. Cost is $23,248.
