The superintendent said the district is watching federal guidance closely and would work with lobbyists if CEP is removed. \"If they change that and we go back to what we did for the 2019–2020 school year ... then we will have roughly 40% of our student population who will need to pay full price for lunch,\" the superintendent said. He said a return to collecting free-and-reduced applications could lead to large unpaid meal balances; the district's projection was that losing CEP could create roughly $100,000–$150,000 in annual meal debt the district would have to cover.

The report included other budget and enrollment items: the district's enrollment stood at about 2,220 students as of the most recent Monday, the superintendent said. Districtwide daily attendance was running at about 91% since January, compared with many districts that are between 75% and 80%. Third grade had the highest attendance (94%), and the senior class had the lowest (about 89%).

The superintendent summarized anticipated federal funding shifts: officials expect Title I and special-education funding to remain stable, but possible reductions in Title II (professional development), Title III (English learners) and Title IV (technology and counselors). He said the National School Lunch Program is administered through the U.S. Department of Agriculture and that changes there would be the most consequential for the district.

He gave figures for meal costs and past practice: current school lunches run about $4.15 each; in 2019 the approximate per-lunch cost cited was $2.65. He said during the 2019–20 school year, when full-pay students ran up accounts, the district saw about $30,000 in unpaid meal charges by Christmas. The superintendent also noted a recent federal action that automatically reclaimed unspent COVID-relief stimulus funds from some districts, leaving some schools out-of-pocket for already-completed reimbursable projects.

The superintendent called potential removal of CEP \"a biggie\" and said the district would mobilize parents and lobbyists if needed while balancing fiduciary responsibilities to taxpayers and employees. He noted that Arizona's higher state minimum wage affects eligibility for free meals, making some working-poor families ineligible despite financial strain.

He also reviewed upcoming events: a Million-Word Readers banquet on May 5 at Del Rio; a band concert on May 6; senior awards and major scholarship nights during the same week; and graduation on May 21 at Findlay Events Center (board members were asked to arrive by 6:30 p.m. to sit on stage and hand out diploma covers). He described a Chino Valley Education Foundation and Grace Church meal-packing event to assemble weekend meals; organizers sought 500 volunteers in two shifts and said packing the meals reduces weekend-meal costs by about 75% compared with retail purchase.

Ending: The superintendent asked the board to remain alert to federal policy changes affecting meal programs and said the district will update the board as information becomes available.","The superintendent told the board that proposed federal changes to the Community Eligibility Provision could remove universal free meals and create substantial budget strain, and provided updates on enrollment, attendance and upcoming district events.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6271064,"Rio Elementary principal spotlights A-rating, character programs and extracurriculars",1237,197000,1434000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3029487-b22e18e0b9679c004b2ecbd71f85f659&start=197&end=1434","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3029487-b22e18e0b9679c004b2ecbd71f85f659/thumbnail_197000.jpg","/articles/6271064/Arizona/Rio-Elementary-principal-spotlights-A-rating-character-programs-and-extracurriculars","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6271064-ec28076d1869fd912cb4ee9055e1f188/orig.mp4?Expires=1770872347&Signature=gNPaFPFxXd3yRkxZO0svkKl7HQkvLizGGwvWR3pAJefZHFxOrssfCQTh1iQFf6ynrFednjNL~AoA78yK5x9AoZRN0T9jpqX5dUXwM8t~39VrF6DLYOaHxyotXj3YwDPI81CUZj2Youqtr9hqYL6Ph5LlJZu7eUFZEKDHxPqy3W12eWWKjQk5ilfy3JBJ0j0-io~21oUZhxhpg5R~BY57e6qX1SBzd39EayCcoZctUtkGC9hKJX04YYbKTVGahUWIWwZqpQWy0TpLL1pWh8vWmDZ7nuaaTI37a5Aa-c5J4wOk8TJUjmTTnCVEnc8Lite5hxqBG9hKZQMU3XBzGSHv8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Matt, principal of Rio Elementary School, told the Chino Valley Unified School District board that the school is an A-rated campus with a broad array of extracurriculars and a focus on character development.

The principal said the school aims to keep students engaged and cited 24 students with perfect attendance. He outlined programs and partnerships intended to support literacy, character and student enrichment, and described efforts to make the school a safe, welcoming place for families.

The presentation centered on three takeaways: academic performance, character education and community partnerships. \"Education is the practice of practical skills in the midst of virtuous action which promotes intrinsic joyful learning,\" Matt said, quoting Thomas Jefferson as he framed the campus focus on literacy and character. He said the A rating reflects factors including student growth on state tests across regular education, special education and English-learner cohorts.

Matt listed specific offerings at the school: 17 clubs and extracurriculars; weekly library technology sessions; a full-time physical education teacher; an EL (English learner) program with a 45-minute conversational class for newly arrived students; student government; quilting and cooking clubs; chess club; a gardening club supported by Yavapai College; and plans to pilot mountain biking for 10 students through an outside organization.

He described community partners active on campus — the American Legion, the Elks, local police departments, CAFMA and the Lions Club — and said AmeriCorps Seniors and the Yavapai Library Network also support students. Matt pointed to the campus single-point entry, perimeter security and the presence of a school resource officer as elements of campus safety. \"Officer Gronick ... is an amazing, amazing portion to our school life,\" he said, describing the SRO's visible, informal interactions with students.

The principal also described recognition systems that reward attendance, reading goals and character traits. He said the school plans to expand library hours next year and pilot a stop-and-read initiative in which the campus will pause for several minutes to read aloud.

Matt closed by inviting board members to visit the campus and observe programs in person. Several board members and attendees praised the school and its staff during the public remarks that followed.

Ending: The presentation was informational; no formal board action was taken on the school report. Board members were encouraged to schedule campus visits to see the programs described.","Rio Elementary Principal Matt updated the Chino Valley Unified School District board on the school's A rating, student attendance, English-learner supports, extracurricular programs and community partnerships.","actionData","errors"]
