Board approves ~$35,000 one-time stipends for food-service staff
Summary
The Mattawan Consolidated School Board authorized approximately $35,000 from the Food Service Fund to pay one-time stipends to food-service staff. One trustee abstained due to a family conflict.
The Mattawan Consolidated School Board approved a resolution on April 13 to use roughly $35,000 from the Food Service Fund for one-time stipend payments to food-service staff.
Vice President Ted Roethlisberger moved the resolution, which Trustee Mark Noffsinger seconded. The minutes list yes votes by Treasurer Marika Hawes-Ruhrup, Vice President Ted Roethlisberger, President Shari Magrath, Board Secretary Vickie Mabin-Herzberg and Trustee Mark Noffsinger. Trustee Rick George abstained, citing a family conflict; Onur Arugaslan was absent during votes recorded in the minutes. The motion passed.
Why it matters: The stipends represent a targeted one-time expenditure from an enterprise fund that directly affects hourly food-service employees. The minutes do not specify individual stipend amounts or which employees will be eligible.
Details and next steps: The minutes identify the funding source as the Food Service Fund and the approximate total amount ($35,000). They do not list a distribution schedule or eligibility criteria; administrators will need to determine and communicate those details as part of implementation.
