Board updates lunch-debt policy and considers food-and-beverage purchasing rules
Summary
The Board approved updates to Fiscal Policy Manual Section 12 clarifying lunch debt will not bar graduation participation and approved first reading of Section 16 (food and beverage purchasing) to align purchasing thresholds and IRS compliance.
The Board approved revisions to Fiscal Policy Manual Section 12 to clarify collection procedures for lunch debt and explicitly state that outstanding lunch debt will not affect a student's ability to participate in graduation or walk to receive a diploma; the motion passed on second and final reading. The revision also establishes clearer procedures for collecting accounts receivable and other debts related to student meals.
Separately, the Board approved a first reading of Section 16 to update rules governing food and beverage purchases, including clarifications about when public funds may be used for refreshments and adjustments to purchasing thresholds to match earlier changes in the manual. The Section 16 updates are intended to ensure compliance with Internal Revenue Service rules and will return for additional Board consideration.
