RSU 18 superintendent reports pump repair at James Bean School, summer food program served 8,217 meals so far
Summary
Superintendent reported a water-pump replacement at James Bean School improving flow to over 30 gallons per minute and credited maintenance staff. Nutrition changes led by director Sean Forkey increased summer food distribution from 5,678 meals last year to 8,217 meals so far this summer, including frozen meals sent home with families.
In the superintendent's administrative report at the Aug. 5 meeting, staff described a recent repair at James Bean School: the district pulled and replaced a failing well pump that had been delivering roughly 10 gallons per minute and restored flow to over 30 gpm, with further pitless/gasket work completed to stabilize supply.
The superintendent also highlighted changes in summer food service implemented by newly assigned nutrition director Sean Forkey. Using equipment purchased during the pandemic, the district produced frozen meals to send home with families and reported serving 8,217 meals to date this summer compared with 5,678 meals during the same period last year, an increase administrators attributed to menu and distribution changes.
The superintendent thanked maintenance and food-service staff for their work and said Sean Forkey would make a fuller presentation at a future meeting.
