District says food service budget is balanced after serving more than 202,000 meals
Summary
CFO Irene Byrne told trustees the food service fund is balanced and the district served "over 202,000 meals" this year; the district plans to continue free meals for preschool and elementary students if state policy continues.
The board heard that the food service budget for the current year is balanced and expected to remain stable into FY25–26.
Chief Financial Officer Irene Byrne told trustees the district "served over 202,000 meals that served between breakfast and lunch," and said the district plans to continue providing free breakfast and lunch for preschool‑age 4 through grade 6 next year if state policy supports it. Byrne added that the food service fund may see a modest positive balance after audit and that personnel and food are the fund's largest expenses.
Board members clarified whether lunches for the 3‑year‑old program were covered this year; Byrne said they were paid from another fund and the plan is to continue coverage next year using enhancement funds.
