Summary

Staff told the board they will seek to reclassify an employee to a food director position with a proposed ~21% increase and will pursue federal supper-program options to provide meals for qualifying after-school activities and athletes.

Staff described a proposal to reclassify an employee who has been performing many food-service director duties into an official food director position and to seek a salary adjustment through bargaining. "We're going to bargain for classified is to change her position to a food director position and have a percentage increase. We're guessing it'll... land on 21%," a staff member said.

Staff also described the federal supper program that could extend meals to qualifying after-school programs and clubs. The program would allow the district to serve meals to participants (including athletes) on campus and could lower net food costs through higher participation and increased reimbursement. Staff said they will take the job reclassification through bargaining and will return to the board if agreements change.

Board members discussed administrative oversight and the paperwork associated with the supper program and welcomed its potential to provide meals for athletes and after-school participants.
