Superintendent highlights Read Across America volunteer needs and flags likely findings in state food‑service audit
Summary
Superintendent announced volunteer slots for Broadbrook’s Read Across America event and updated the board on a routine state food‑service audit, saying meal delivery is going well but food production records will likely require corrective action following a recent staffing transition.
Superintendent Patrick reminded the board that Broadbrook will host Read Across America on March 3 and asked members to volunteer to read to students during lunchtime. He then updated the board on an ongoing Connecticut State Department of Education food‑service audit, a routine review the superintendent said typically generates findings and corrective actions.
Patrick told the board the district’s meal program is delivering breakfasts and lunches without major interruption but that the auditors have noted shortcomings in food production records. He said the issue appears tied to a transition between food‑service directors during a paternity leave and that the district expects to present a corrective action plan and a small, specific policy wording change to the board in the coming months.
The superintendent said the district will provide the audit report when it is finalized and that the food‑service provider has been responsive in addressing questions.
