Operations report: nutrition service numbers, TAP grant, press‑box donation and facilities updates
Summary
Operations staff reported higher meal counts despite declining enrollment, secured a hazardous‑materials TAP grant, described an in‑house press‑box project that saved district funds with donated lumber from Warehouser, and outlined upcoming phone and fire‑alarm evaluations.
Operations staff provided multiple facility and service updates to the board.
Nutrition: operations reported the nutrition department served 239,610 breakfasts and 323,666 lunches in 2025–26, an increase in meals served despite declining enrollment, and outlined summer feeding sites.
Grants and facilities: staff summarized TAP grants the district has pursued (many small awards historically ranging from roughly $20,000–$40,000) and reported the district secured a hazardous‑materials TAP grant to support facility testing. Facilities staff also described a completed in‑house press‑box project; district staff and the board thanked volunteers and Warehouser for a lumber donation and noted the in‑house approach saved several hundred thousand dollars compared with contracting out the work. Several staff retirees were recognized by name.
Technology and safety projects: technology director Peter Klinger is leading a phone‑system replacement project; staff will evaluate an alternate vendor and ensure spare parts. The district will also complete a silent‑night fire‑alarm upgrade at the district office before expanding other campus upgrades.
Next steps: staff will complete vendor assessments and post communications and community highlights for completed projects when materials and photos are finalized.
