Business services reports grants and staffing progress for food services
Summary
Chief of business services Sarah reported staffing progress for food services and said the district received a $112,000 KITCHEN Infrastructure Training (KICK) grant and $15,000 for breakfast/summer-meal startup, placing the district partway toward the cost of a new walk‑in freezer estimated above $200,000.
The district's chief of business services told trustees the business office is closing the fiscal year and finishing hiring for food‑service positions ahead of the school year.
Sarah said the district "received the maximum amount, that we could of a $112,000" KICK (kitchen infrastructure training) grant and also received $15,000 for the school breakfast and summer meals startup. She said the $112,000 puts the district "halfway to the cost to purchase our own walk in freezer, which is over $200,000." The district plans to reapply for a larger state KICK grant in the coming round.
Why it matters: Grant awards and hiring progress affect meal service capacity and the district's ability to provide scratch‑cooked meals at the elementary campus.
