Board approves several operational items: donation, HCTC equipment, menu software and personnel hire
Summary
The board approved a donation of a 1995 pumper to HCTC, an $8,124 autoscrubber purchase for HCTC, selected Healthy Pro for menu software, and hired a preschool coordinator supported by state early‑funding.
At its April meeting the Ellsworth School Board approved several operational items recommended by the finance and curriculum committees.
Donation and equipment: The board accepted a donated 1995 Spartan pumper (model LA41T-2142) valued at approximately $2,500 from Tri-County Technical Center to support HCTC's firefighting program; the pumper will be housed at a training facility behind Wyman's for use by the Elder Fire Department. The board also approved an unbudgeted HCTC facilities equipment purchase (an autoscrubber) for $8,124, to be covered by HCTC budget savings.
Food service software: The finance committee recommended Healthy Pro for food-service menu and recipe management after the food service director, Greg Barry, reviewed two quotes; the system will allow families to view menus and ingredient/allergen information and help staff with recipe management and inventory.
Personnel: The board approved hiring Ashley Mularn as the district's preschool coordinator (ages 3'5) with a target start date of June 1; the superintendent noted early state funding for FAPE (3'5) will cover the position for the year.
Ending: Each item was approved by voice vote and will move into implementation planning by the appropriate department (facilities/HCTC, food services, and human resources).
