Communications refresh and food‑service changes highlighted at Tri‑City United meeting
Summary
Marketing staff previewed a refreshed slide deck, district e‑newsletter and website updates while food service reported new equipment, successful health inspections and a 42% increase in breakfast participation at Lee Center after opening the building earlier for students.
District communications and food service leaders briefed the board on several operational initiatives during the administrative reports section.
Marketing and communications reported a slide‑deck refresh for district materials, plans for a districtwide e‑newsletter (frequency to be decided), migration of messaging to a team plan to reduce costs, updates to the high school graduation and STEAM webpages, and OptiSign displays running on roughly 32 screens across district sites. The communications presenter said translation tools will be available to principals on the new platform. Analytics cited included roughly 11,000 more website visitors year‑over‑year and about 8,000 visitors in a recent 60‑day window, described as mostly organic traffic.
Food service reported that recent health inspections at district kitchens were completed without orders issued and highlighted new serving lines, LED lighting, combi ovens and a smoothie station. The director said opening a building earlier for breakfast at Lee Center produced a 42% increase in breakfast participation (from about 130 to nearly 200 students). The food service team said it plans to pilot smoothie stations in elementary schools and will pursue energy rebates from CenterPoint Energy for new equipment.
Administrators framed these updates as part of broader outreach, student engagement and operational improvements; no formal action was required on these items.
