Board warned of food‑service (Fund 112) shortfall, district to monitor and seek savings
Summary
Superintendent told the board the lunch (Fund 112) program has a recurring shortfall and the district has spent about $30,479 on food with revenue near $36,000 and payroll costs of nearly $14,000; staff are meeting with the kitchen manager to mitigate and no formal action was recommended yet.
The superintendent reported that Fund 112 (the district's food‑service fund) ran a shortfall last year and is projected to be more than $16,000 in deficit this year if current trends continue. "There is every likelihood that we will be upside down more than $16,000 this year at the rate that we're going," the superintendent said, noting food spending of $30,479 to date and revenue near $36,000 with payroll costs of almost $14,000.
District leaders said they are meeting every two months with kitchen manager Jen Prego to look for ordering, sourcing and staffing efficiencies; the superintendent said any remaining gap would be covered from the general fund and pledged to keep the board updated. No formal budget transfer or action was requested at the time of the report.
