School nutrition budget forwarded to full board; program remains self‑funding
Summary
The MSAD 11 Finance Committee reviewed a self‑funded school nutrition budget with a 2.39% increase ($35,609) driven by food and equipment costs and voted to forward it to the full board; local towns do not share in the program’s cost.
The Finance Committee reviewed the school nutrition budget and moved it to the full board for approval. Administration described the program as self-funding and said state and federal reimbursements cover most meal costs.
Officials noted a 2.39% increase ($35,609) year over year attributable to food-price pressures and equipment replacement needs; the nutrition budget includes breakfast, lunch, and a la carte lines and carries no direct cost to the local property tax base. The committee motioned and seconded forwarding the nutrition budget to the full board; no roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript.
Next steps: the nutrition budget will be placed on the full-board agenda for routine approval.
