Farmington board approves several hires, rejects proposed meal-price increase and holds first readings of policy updates
Summary
The Farmington Central CUSD 265 board moved multiple personnel actions (including hiring Dalton Wills and Scott Reardon), conducted first readings of several policies, considered the amended FY26 budget (vote outcome not specified in the transcript excerpt) and voted down a proposed meal-price increase for 2026–27.
The Farmington Central CUSD 265 Board of Education handled a sequence of personnel, budget and policy items at its June 30 meeting.
The board voted to enter closed session to discuss personnel matters before resuming public business. When open session resumed, the board took up action items including the amended fiscal year 2026 budget; a motion and second were made to approve the amended budget and to authorize the superintendent to pay bills received through June 30. A roll call was initiated, but the transcript excerpt does not provide the final recorded vote for the budget item.
Administrators presented a package of policy updates and the board approved the first reading on a list of policy numbers; the motion for first reading carried on a unanimous 6-0 roll call.
On school meal pricing, administration said USDA guidance required increases for the 2026–27 school year: a 10¢ increase for student meals and a 20¢ increase for adult meals. The board voted on the proposed meal-price increase and the chair announced, “Motion fails,” after several members voted 'no.'
Personnel actions: the board approved multiple hires and recommendations. The board voted to employ Dalton Wills as a PE teacher for the 2026–27 school year (motion passed 6-0). Mister McMillan recommended Scott Reardon for a part-time vocational teacher position and assistant FFA advisor; the motion passed 6-0. Administrators also proposed the reassignment of Jennifer Littrell from high school/junior high teacher and listed several additional staff appointments; a motion to reassign was made and a roll call was held, but the transcript excerpt does not state the final outcome for that specific reassignment vote.
Why it matters: The hires and reassignments shape staffing for the coming school year, policy first readings outline forthcoming regulatory changes at the district level, and the rejection of the meal-price increase maintains current student and adult meal pricing for 2026–27 as of this meeting.
The board proceeded with further discussion about pending state legislation affecting graduation requirements and student-device rules before the excerpt ends.
