Annandale school board approves routine 2025–26 operational items, meal policy unchanged
Summary
At its regular meeting the Annandale Public School District board approved routine operational items for 2025–26 — including lunch prices, student and athletics handbooks, contracts, work assignments and six policies — and adopted a four-part long-term facilities maintenance package required by the state.
The Annandale Public School District board on Monday approved a slate of routine operational measures for the 2025–26 school year, including lunch prices and fees, student handbooks, an athletics handbook, several personnel contracts and a set of policies in the review cycle.
Speaker 3, who presented the district’s nutrition update, said state bills that might have changed the free-lunch program did not pass, so “for this next year, we are having these, free lunch system same as we've had last year,” and noted the district must charge the same adult rate for extra entrees and extra milk. The board discussed substitute-teacher pay and confirmed current rates compare favorably with neighboring districts.
Board members approved the consent agenda and then voted on individual items. Motions and seconders were recorded in the meeting minutes for each approval; the board approved student handbooks for elementary, middle and high school, the athletics and activities handbook, three certificated contracts at the middle school (physical education, math and special education), three work assignments (health assistant, custodian and paraprofessional), and six policies under review (with multiple highlighted changes to the district’s Uniform Grant Guidance document).
The board also adopted an administrative resolution to designate an identified official for the MDE external user access recertification system, a routine annual authorization that will give Tim signing authority. The board accepted July donations and then adjourned.
