At the March 18 meeting, the Kings Consolidated School District #144 board voted to use local funds to cover any shortage in the school lunch program for the 2026-27 school year. Jake Good made the motion and Callie Johnson seconded; the motion carried with four ayes and three absences.
The minutes state the board "acknowledges that we have a short fall in the lunch program" and approved using local funds to cover any deficit. The record does not specify the projected shortfall amount, the funding source within local budgets, or whether the board directed staff to seek alternative state or federal supports. The action authorizes the district to allocate local resources to maintain meal services for students.
