Facilities & Finance committee: food-service deficit, small meal-price step proposed; fieldhouse floor ahead of schedule
Summary
The Facilities & Finance committee reported a $300,000 deficit in food services and recommended a 10-cent phased increase to breakfast and lunch prices to begin right-sizing the program; the committee also recommended substitute pay rates for health assistants and reported the Oshkosh North fieldhouse floor project is ahead of schedule for mid‑August completion.
At its June 24 meeting the board heard a summary from the Facilities & Finance committee (June 11) that outlined four operational items for board information and follow-up.
The committee recommended setting substitute pay rates for health services to keep more work in-house: maintain a nurse substitute rate at $40 per hour and establish new rates of $20 per hour for licensed practical nurses and $16 per hour for CNAs. Committee members said this is intended to prevent disparities caused by relying on contracted services.
The committee also reported an estimated $300,000 deficit in the food-service program and recommended phasing in a 10-cent price increase for breakfast and lunch for non‑C (fee-paying) schools as a first step to stabilize the program. Committee discussion acknowledged concerns about impacts on families but framed the increase as a smaller, phased approach rather than a single larger increase later.
Facilities staff reported that the Oshkosh North fieldhouse floor replacement is ahead of schedule with completion expected by mid‑August to meet volleyball season needs. The committee also described a plan to donate usable furniture and playground equipment from closed sites to local nonprofits, preserving legacy items at central office and requiring liability waivers for donations.
No formal board vote occurred on these committee recommendations at this meeting; matters will return through the committee and consent or individually considered items as necessary.
