Board approves EOP revision, food-service changes, trust policies and bus-route updates
Summary
The Red Rock Elementary School District No. 5 board adopted multiple routine operational motions on Aug. 21, 2024, including a revised Emergency Operations Plan to be audited by the Auditor General, changes to cafeteria staffing and food-service programs, trust-recommended policy and procedure updates, and bus-stop revisions. All motions recorded as approved 2-0.
At its Aug. 21 meeting the Red Rock Elementary School District No. 5 board approved a slate of operational items intended to align district policies and services with new requirements and local needs.
The board approved a revised Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) to be audited by the Arizona Auditor General; Peter Dwyer reviewed the policy as noted in the minutes and the motion passed 2-0. The board also approved trust-recommended policy item "i" (listing state codes 3-107, 3-401, 4-101, 4-204, 5-105, 5-107, 5-305, 5-404) and trust-recommended procedures item "j" (codes 3-301.A, 3-203.A, 3-401.F, 4-101.A, 5-216.A, 5-404.A); Mr. Dwyer reviewed these items and responded to a question from Kayti Kahn about whether a checked box would make an applicant ineligible — Dwyer said yes, a checked box would render the candidate ineligible to be hired. Both trust items passed 2-0.
Food-service and personnel changes included moving the Cafeteria Manager position from 12-month to 10-month status (manager remains on-call) and adopting a restriction under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) that only program adults are eligible for free lunch under NSLP rules as implemented locally. The board also approved removing the district's prior "bonus" meal program because the new Mosaic food-service software does not support the bonus automation and manual continuation was unsustainable. Student Council’s Halloween "BooGrams" fundraiser and revisions to bus stops (move Little Crow/Estancia to Amber Sunrise/Estancia; add Davis Ranch/Staghorn; delete Aguirre Lane) were approved by 2-0 votes.
The consent agenda — which included July 15 minutes, staff stipends, student activities account register, Pinal County Treasurer combined resolution signatures, a new certified teacher contract, ADE Food Service Permanent Service Agreement, listed expense vouchers (#2428 $58,931.69; #2501 $74,619.22; #2502 $83,511.45) and payroll vouchers — was adopted 2-0.
The minutes do not record extended public discussion on these items and show the same two board members voting on motions; the minutes do not specify which additional district members present participated in votes.
