Board wants measurable metrics for transportation and food service; staff flags $2.8M food-service deficit
Summary
Staff said they will track participation and program costs for food service (currently running about a $2.8 million shortfall) and will report transportation metrics such as on-time performance using a new UHT scoring tool.
Board members asked how the district will measure whether food service and transportation efforts succeed. District nutrition staff said they will monitor participation (including CEP and free/reduced programs), cost of materials and the program's run rate; staff reported the food-service program is running at about a $2.8 million deficit that requires ongoing monitoring.
On transportation, staff said they will track on-time performance and bring a new "UHT" (unusually hazardous transportation) scoring tool to the board in September that evaluates stops, intersections and crossing hazards; the tool was developed with Dane County Sheriff's Office and DPI input. Staff said the combined metrics will be shared twice a year for food service and as part of the September transportation update.
