The Dixon USD 170 Board of Education unanimously approved a new food service management contract and an updated permanent substitute job description during its April 15, 2026, regular meeting at the district administrative center.
Board Vice President Brandon Rogers moved to approve the food service management contract; Kathleen Schaefer seconded the motion. The board’s roll-call vote recorded yes votes from Linda LeBlanc-Parks, Brandon Rogers, Kathleen Schaefer, Jon Wadsworth, Melissa Gates and President Linda Wegner; there were no nays.
Melissa Gates moved to approve the updated permanent substitute job description, with Linda LeBlanc-Parks seconding. That motion also passed unanimously, with Rogers, Schaefer, Wadsworth, Gates, LeBlanc-Parks and Wegner voting in favor after the Board asked questions about the change.
Why it matters: Food service contracts determine how school meals are managed and can affect menu choices, staffing and district costs; updating the substitute job description clarifies duties and expectations for long-term temporary staff who support classroom continuity.
