Food services director Ronnie Fields asked the board to approve adult meal prices and replacement kitchen equipment during the Aug. 12 meeting. The board approved adult breakfast and lunch prices — breakfast $3.15 and lunch $4.85 — noting the state’s pricing formula determines allowed adult rates.
Fields also presented quotes to replace a 13‑year‑old rotisserie/combination oven at Saffle Street. The lowest responsive quote was from Manning Brothers for $23,491; the board approved the purchase by roll call. Fields said the new equipment will allow improved functionality and help meet upcoming changes to nutritional standards and kitchen operations. The board also approved surplus property declarations and discussed safe removal or pickup of heavy old equipment.
Board members asked staff to look into staff meal participation data and potential employee perks tied to meal pricing; staff agreed to gather participation numbers for a future report.
