Board approves $30,000-plus kitchen renovations using excess school nutrition funds
Summary
Trustees approved an estimate from Eleanor Construction to renovate the school serving area using excess school nutrition funds the district must spend; large equipment (double-door fridge/freezer) was discussed as a separate expense.
The Scobey K-12 Schools Board approved an estimate from Eleanor Construction to update the kitchen serving area using excess school nutrition funds carried over from pandemic-era federal rules.
A staff member said the district has roughly $30,000 in excess nutrition funds that must be spent and proposed renovating the serving area with new cabinetry and a service island. "We really have 30,000 we need to spend," the staff member said, explaining that the estimate was slightly higher to allow for contingencies. Trustees asked whether major equipment was included; staff said the double-door fridge/freezer was listed but would be treated as a separate purchase and that the bid would be adjusted after consultation with the facilities lead.
A trustee moved to approve the estimate from Eleanor Construction for the kitchen updates; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff noted the final spending and any additional equipment purchases will be approved with follow-up bids and clarifications.
