Board approves stipend schedule and modest school-lunch price increases
Summary
At the June 2 meeting the Cromwell Board of Education approved a personnel stipend schedule and voted to raise school-lunch prices slightly for 2026–27 (elementary $3.50, middle $3.75, high $3.80); minutes and other routine items were also approved by voice vote.
The Cromwell Board of Education approved several action items at its June 2 meeting.
Stipends: The board approved the personnel stipends listed in reference C of the board packet after a motion and second were called and passed by voice vote (motion recorded in the minutes). No roll-call tally was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
School lunches: The board approved recommended school-lunch price increases for 2026–27 after a brief presentation by Mr. Butwell and the district’s food-and-nutrition coordinator. The new prices approved in the motion were: Edna Stevens/Woodside (elementary) $3.50; CMS (middle school) $3.75; CHS (high school) $3.80. The administration said the food service operates as a self-funded program and the modest increases reflect statewide price trends and higher operating costs.
Minutes and other routine business: The board approved the minutes and motions from the May 19 special meeting, received routine HR/personnel activity reports, and moved to additional agenda items. Where motions were recorded, the public record shows the motion and the second; the meeting transcript reflects voice approval without a detailed roll-call tally recorded in the public transcript.
The board did not take any contested votes on June 2; the approvals reported here were recorded as passed by voice vote during the meeting.
