Board hears options to feed students while Olivia gym and kitchen work continues
Summary
The BOLD School District board heard a Nexus update and staff briefings on interim food-service plans after construction delays at the Olivia site, including on-site serving, off-site prep at an armory, and a trailer/tent kitchen in the parking lot.
The board invited Nicole Allen of Nexus to update members after construction delays in the Area D addition left the school kitchen unavailable ahead of the term. Nicole described three interim options under consideration: serve meals on-site in the multipurpose room; prepare food at a remote armory and transport it to the school; or install a trailer/tent kitchen in the parking lot with utilities brought in.
Chair (speaker 1) and board members pressed for timing and student-safety measures. Committee member (speaker 2) asked about the sanding and sealing schedule for the Olivia gym floor and whether sealer fumes would make the multipurpose room a poor dining environment; board members recommended proactive scheduling to avoid exposing students to strong odors. The superintendent (speaker 3) and staff suggested containment (closing doors, fans) and timing work around events when possible. The presentation closed with the board asking staff to continue evaluation and to report back with a recommended interim feeding plan.
