District updates on transportation, food service and construction projects
Summary
Board members discussed missed bus deliveries and the district's plan to purchase buses, food-service improvements including salad bars and after-school snacks, and progress on a multipurpose facility, practice field sod/hydroseed and maintenance work.
Speaker 2 told the board the district was supposed to receive one bus and one spare this year but that did not occur; Speaker 1 said they have asked chiefs to restart the replacement cycle and that the district will continue to purchase buses to keep the planned 3-and-3 replacement rhythm. "We personally wanna continue to purchase our own buses," Speaker 1 said.
On food service, Speaker 1 said staff visited other districts and recommended adding salad bars and better-quality choices where appropriate. The board also discussed logistics for late starts and early dismissals and Speaker 1 said K–8 students remaining until 3:00 p.m. will be supervised and provided after-school snacks by campus teams.
On facilities, Speaker 1 reported progress at the new multipurpose facility: more work has been completed than shown in early-May photos, final turf negotiations were underway, and a change order was signed after a discrepancy with the turf vendor. The transcript records the vendor discrepancy as the vendor "gave us the wrong sound" (as spoken in the meeting); the board signed a change order to resolve the issue and move forward toward a July 1 completion date for some items.
Speaker 1 said the district is building a practice field on former highway department property, with 14 feet of sod to be installed on the north side and hydroseed on the remainder, sprinklers already in place, and preparatory crown work ongoing to have the field ready for early-July practices.
In a brief maintenance update, Speaker 1 relayed that Beau reported he is "down to 3 outstanding waters" (verbatim from the transcript) and emphasized the maintenance team's focus on finishing outstanding work.
