Board OKs 15¢ lunch increase and multiple superintendent consent items
Summary
The board approved a superintendent consent agenda that included a 15¢ increase to elementary and high-school lunch prices to address cafeteria fund shortfalls, extracurricular transportation fee policy, legal representation, salary-step settings for new positions, and program agreements for 2026–27.
The superintendent presented a consent agenda containing eight items and recommended a 15¢ increase to elementary and high-school lunch prices for the coming school year, citing a cafeteria fund shortfall. "Last year, our expenditures were over revenue in the cafeteria fund by about $40,000," the superintendent said as justification for the increase.
Other items approved on the consent agenda included an extracurricular transportation fee policy, retention of legal counsel for the 2026–27 school year, base salary step recommendations for newly created positions (elementary principal step 0 at $100,000; high-school principal step 0 at $110,000; athletic director step 0 at $70,002.20), parent transportation agreements for students with disabilities, the 2026–27 e-day plan, a band-equipment-trailer agreement with music boosters, and approval of a chemical hygiene/shop safety plan for 2026–27.
Board members discussed transportation planning for athletics and general district savings that helped free funds for other priorities. The superintendent's consent agenda was approved by roll call.
