The board approved an amendment to the Child Nutrition Fund (Fund 240) that adjusts revenues to $1,761,583 and expenditures to $1,755,083 for the 2025–26 year. The item authorizes the superintendent to approve necessary budget amendments related to child nutrition finance items.
Rebel Fulton reported meal counts for the 2025–26 school year of 108,265 breakfasts and more than 200,000 lunches, and noted the district's difficulty getting families to complete Free/Reduced Meal Applications. Fulton also described procurement constraints, including the requirement that purchases be 100% made in America for some program lines and a guideline allowing up to 10% on non-compliant items; she said the summer feeding program at Lamar has required increased lunch quantities due to strong participation.
