Cafeteria updates, Backpack Buddies funding and auxiliary pay changes on the horizon
Summary
Finance and food-service staff updated the committee on Backpack Buddies sign-ups, procurement audits, equipment installations and a potential food-service equipment grant; the board will see several items Monday, including auxiliary salary schedule additions and a delinquent-tax collection resolution.
The committee received several finance and food-service updates affecting programs and operations.
Miss Cole (speaker 12) said the district is updating Backpack Buddies sign-up materials and anticipates funds being available by the end of the calendar year. She is preparing supplies and hopes to begin distribution around Oct. 21. Miss Cole also reported the food-service program is in the middle of multiple routine audits (school-year, summer and procurement cycles) and is updating procurement-related policies for a policy committee review next month.
On equipment, Miss Cole said new steamers at the middle school are working well, a dishwasher for Peters Elementary is scheduled for installation on Oct. 18, and high-school equipment delivery is set for Oct. 25 with the full install date pending. She is evaluating district eligibility for a recently announced food-service equipment grant with a Nov. 22 deadline; eligibility hinges on a net cash-resources calculation the district is completing.
Sherry (speaker 14) said she received documentation to continue delinquent-tax collections with Portnoff and will place a resolution on the Monday board agenda for taxes unpaid as of Dec. 31, 2024. She also proposed adding a box-truck driver stipend to the auxiliary salary schedule to avoid repeated Ryder rentals for band travel: a $1,000 stipend Aug–Dec for the driver and a $50 one-time fee for occasional weekend events were discussed; the district will include the proposed change on the full-board agenda.
St. Luke's provided a $12,500 donation for community service this year; Sherry recommended a transfer of funds into capital reserves as part of routine budget planning. Administration will place the procurement items, auxiliary schedule changes and delinquent-tax resolution on the Monday agenda for board consideration.
