Treasurer reports steady finances; board approves adult lunch price increase and personnel recommendations
Summary
Treasurer reported general fund and construction-fund positions, noted delayed property-tax settlement and interest revenue gains; the board approved a recommended adult lunch price increase (from $4.50 to $5.25) and accepted personnel recommendations including hiring a new varsity football coach.
Treasurer Beth (speaker 6) told the board the district’s general fund is tracking where staff expect it to be but noted a delayed property-tax settlement and a period of lower cash between tax advances. Beth reported interest revenue of about $727,000 (roughly 80% of budget) and construction-fund project-to-date figures just under $1.5 million.
During the finance committee report Chair (speaker 2) flagged a recommendation to raise adult lunch prices from $4.50 to $5.25 to align with the Department of Education pricing ratio tied to federal student-lunch subsidies. "The move it from $4.50 to $5.25 for adults," the chair said when describing the recommendation. Staff explained the federal subsidy applies to student lunches but not staff/adult meals and a formula requires adult prices be set at a certain ratio relative to student prices.
The board voted on the consent/recommendation agenda that included the adult-lunch price adjustment; the roll call returned ayes from the recorded members and the motion passed.
Under personnel items Presenter (speaker 1) announced a resignation (Carla Hill, third-grade teacher at Stevenson) and recommended approving the hiring of Sean Hinkle as the next varsity football coach following a hiring process led by school staff. The board moved, seconded and approved the personnel recommendations by roll call.
The board did not add further conditions to the approvals and recorded the votes during the meeting.
