Summary

The committee approved two assistant kitchen manager positions in school nutrition; the business manager said the change replaces two kitchen assistant roles at larger schools and the program remains self‑sustaining.

The Auburn School Committee approved adding two assistant kitchen manager positions within the district’s school nutrition program at its June 17 meeting.

Amanda Coocher, the district business manager, said the new job description is detailed and that the purpose of the positions is not to add headcount but to replace two kitchen assistant positions at larger kitchens. "The purpose of these two positions is not to add positions to the program, but to replace two of the kitchen assistant positions," she told the committee, adding the pay scale would fall between a kitchen aide and a kitchen manager and that kitchen managers would retain overall responsibility for menus and kitchen oversight.

Committee members noted the nutrition program is self‑sustaining and that the change reflects a reallocation of responsibilities rather than a net increase in positions. The motion to approve the job descriptions and positions was carried (no roll‑call tally recorded in the transcript).
