Summary

The district's nutrition director told the board the cafeteria had a $40,174 loss in October and a year-to-date loss of $25,375; participation rates were 15% for breakfast overall and 47.1% for lunch overall. The board accepted the report by consensus.

Mister Bondi presented the district’s October cafeteria report at the Nov. 17 operations meeting, reporting a monthly loss of $40,174 and a year-to-date loss of $25,375. He attributed the October loss in part to three payrolls that month and $5,186 in retroactive pay tied to a new union contract.

Bondi reported the cafeteria ending cash balance as $1,603,632 and gave participation figures: breakfast participation at elementary schools was 22.2%, middle schools 8.6% and high schools 7.7% (15% overall); lunch participation was 45% at elementary, 54% at middle and 45% at high school (47.1% overall). He asked for questions; none were raised.

The board took consensus on the cafeteria report, and the item will be moved to the next board meeting for formal ratification.

Next steps: business office and nutrition services will finalize year-to-date reconciliation and include cafeteria figures in upcoming budget planning.
