District updates: meal program doubles pre‑COVID counts; English‑learner enrollment rising
Summary
Business services and educational services reported facilities work awaiting DSA approval, nutrition averaging about 6,500 meals per day (up from ~3,200 pre‑COVID), and an increase in English‑learner enrollments; technology reported MFA rollout with an Oct. 3 deadline.
Business services briefed the board on facilities projects and nutrition service trends. The Holly Avenue shade structure remains pending DSA approval; the Longley Way play structure awaits an Oct. 1 inspection. Nutrition services reported daily meal counts of about 6,500—roughly double the pre‑COVID average—and staff are conducting outreach to about 1,000 families who have not completed the National School Lunch Program application during the 30‑day grace period, reminding them of benefits including fee reductions and ELOP eligibility.
Educational services discussed professional development, elementary writing curriculum changes and restorative practice follow‑ups. The district reported a rise in unduplicated pupil counts and that English‑learner enrollment is up about 20% this year. Strategy and innovation staff said multi‑factor authentication rollout for staff accounts is underway with an Oct. 3 deadline to improve system security.
