I mean and a happy meal is 573. So that's just over at the top. I mean we don't even have a 573 meal. And a Jersey Mike's small sub is very expensive. And our deli line at the high school is gorgeous. Uh they do put a very wide array of toppings and they work really hard to have it be very nice and colorful. So, and just the last piece I'll point out because I know there's probably questions about the finances, but in the modified profit and loss statement that you have, we've boldened the recommendation for the 25-cent increase to breakfast and the 50cent increase to lunch. What you'll see here is if we didn't change the prices, the bottom line is the profit and loss expected at $250,000. If we increase the price, and as Erica stated, a 10% increase of cost of goods sold and a 5% increase in wages, that puts us at uh approximately negative $120,000.

Theo game hosts quickly left the field, leaving behind the Fox Creek team led by health and nutrition leader Julie Jordan, the girls softball coach. Seeing and hearing the nearby activity and using her law enforcement and healthc care training, Julie immediately ordered her team and adults to shelter in a place in Centennial Park dugout, the only protected area that was immediately accessible. She began placing sporting equipment on and around the girls for shielding, instructing them to wear their helmets. At 5:15, the suspect crashed his vehicle less than a half a mile away from the students at Harrison Street and Airway. More shots rang out as the suspect continued to shoot at police who returned fire, gravely wounding the subject. Julie contacted Fox Creek athletic director Brent Shnab Schnabble, excuse me. Uh together they coordinated the immediate return of the boys team and the bus to Centennial Park for another game several miles away.

And if we are really careful with our spending and actually have a 2% increase, so our cost of goods sold and a 3% pay increase, which will make us a little slightly competitive with our peers, um we're about break even, which is where we want to be. So this is kind of the implication of not changing the pricing. It's it's pretty significant. The 50 cent at lunch is where we're where we're we sell a lot of our meals, right? It's not after we've removed free breakfast, our breakfast sales went down. So where you're going to see that change and that increase in revenue is by modifying the lunch price. Questions? Yeah, just uh the comment about you're at break even. So just to be clear, that's the operating budget. That does not cover the capital budget at all. Right. That's just mine. Yes. Operating budget, annual operating school nutrition fund.

The girls team was safely evacuated and both teams returned to Fox Creek. The students remained calm thanks to Julie while Fox Creek and the district notified parents and the community that students were safe and on their way home. Then just a few days later, Julie helped diffuse an unrelated situation by disarming without incident a student who had brought a knife to school allegedly as part of a grudge. The school, the Bullhead City School District governing board, that's us. We really care. wishes to commend Julie Jordan for her professionalism and demeanor, protecting our students while un and an unknown crisis was intensifying on the road just a short distance away as well as helping keep students safe at school.

Yeah. No, no, I understand it. Just just to clarify that. Um I think this would be a quick question. I'm hoping you mentioned the local sourcing of honey and maple syrup. Yes. Where do you do that? Um so we've worked with several vendors. Sorry, the microphone. I do just speak with my cafeteria voice so it's usually loud. Um uh we use Fresh Point as well as Cold Springs Farms out of Colchester and we have sourced um hydroponic from H2O Farms for lettuce. The maple syrup has been um Burlington Farm Sugar House. Uh we've gotten it from like four different farms. We do try to several different ones and the students when I've been in the cafeteria have noticed the difference um in the maple syrup being from Connecticut as opposed to we will call it pancake syrup because that is what it is. Um but the difference is dramatic.

And for everybody listening, first reading is just pretty much getting it introduced and so we can read it and review it and then deep take a deeper dive.

So it's 70 cents an ounce for maple syrup from Connecticut and it's less than 10 cents an ounce for traditional pancake syrup. So right there we're looking at a 60 cents a meal increase just to be able to offer the one ounce of maple syrup from Connecticut supporting our local community and our local farmers. Um and I was very impressed that all the students noticed the difference in maple syrup. I was very proud of that. Um and we do use little leaf lettuce out of Massachusetts. Nice. Thank you. No, I know that I've brought my I brought my kids to their sugar shack in Burlington. I was wondering because this is the only one in Connecticut that I believe is commercial. Yes. It's It's a fun little experience. And one last question. I don't know if this for I know you've spoken to it before, Vin.

Uh so they sent us a revised contract. So what you have in front of you is the revised contract uh with them with the new numbers. Any questions on the contract? And just a reminder that I set a contract. This is the agreement. This is the second year. Uh this is an amendment to the contract. Remember, we uh put this out to bid every five years. And uh so this is year two agreement. And they've done a good job for us this year. They've done an excellent job for us. They continue to do good work for us. So question the the number that they have now is 2,180 I think is what it is for students. Uh that's yeah that should be accurate because I think they had two 20s if we fall below that nothing they're they've based their funds on that and it and and um we should be fairly stable with that.

We do that every other week and um talk about security issues, safety issues and then make sure that um the architects are getting the information to the construction as it needs and everything's moving very very smoothly. Um, we are still on on on target to open the front of the building in August. The fence is going to be down and we will be entering the building through the front of the building for the administration wings uh at the beginning of the school year. Uh they need to take that fence down and give us that before they can start really working on the gymnasium in the back. And so, um, that is the target. Questions, concerns, comments about it? The brick is starting to go up on the on the side and, um, I'm still waiting for it to get to where I can see it a little bit better and how it matches.

Um the uh uncollectibles. Yep. Where's that stand right now? Sure. So the negative balance um currently is about 26,000. Um so it does sound like a large amount in comparison to what Cheshire has had in the past few years. um in the climate and the culture that is school nutrition right now it is low compared to some of our neighboring districts um in the in some even the case like half some are facing over 40,000 in only two buildings or they're looking at 35,000 with less than 2,000 students. So the way we were able to keep it as much as it seems high in unfortunately in this kind of situation of what negative balance and school meals has become due to the state um statutes of what we have to do. Uh it's not terrible. Um it is unfortunate but we are it could be worse.

I'm sure that the number we had on the first year agreement ended up being higher than our enrollment this year and they don't come back and ask us to change it. Okay.

We talked today about possibly needing to stain the other brick so that it looks a little bit more um, in line. But uh we had some renderings today of the of the of the panels that are going to go up for the gymnasium and we're looking at options on how to make it the windows areas to look more in line more in sync with what the first phase. Um real continuity to the whole project instead of make it look like just a second thought. It's funny even students that are there every day are like oh my gosh it's happening so fast. How did this you know like how did this happen? You see it every day every day. But yeah, it's I mean it's happening quick. Looks good. Yeah, they were pouring a couple of slabs today and I believe next week or the week after that whole that ramp's going to be out and they're going to finish the pouring of the of the of of of the foundation.

Yeah. I mean there are follow-up calls being made. Yeah. we do, you know, so we try and collect, we try and be responsible with how we ask people to pay back their funds. Um, and yeah, we actually had a school business officials board meeting this week where we we talked about the issue and you know, does anyone have any, you know, ideas that you know, seem to be working? There was some discussion about um sending some of the larger accounts to collections. That's not something that we're considering, but um there are some districts that are thinking about doing it. And the other thing that came up, I'll just, you know, say this, that, you know, the legislature has really tied our hands with um how we can go about trying to pursue the funds. Um so it may be time to go back to the legislature to ask for some you know allowances so that we can get a little bit um more aggressive with our efforts but that may not be popular and obviously that would be something that will come through the legislative committee of the board but you know a lot of districts are facing you know 40 50 $60,000 balances that the board has to you know pay from its operating budget because as you know the law is we have to reimburse the food service program.

we had some incorrect numbers and so uh we've corrected those and then we also u made the same kind of change uh on the side you see in the the box next to it um because we when I do the evaluations for principles uh it's before we have uh test scores and those kinds of things so I do the sections uh domains one through four standards one through four just like we do with teachers and then we come back as soon as we get uh Galileo and um state testing results to finish the last page which is uh their goals. So um so when I actually meet with them I am looking for scores on these first standard these four standards uh with numbers that are in that box on the right. Um and then uh and then when we add that additional information uh and come back and complete it then we're looking for totals that match in the box that's tan.

And so it's going to pop up sooner rather than Yeah, sure is. then it'll look slow again because they a lot of work was happening before it popped up but it was all underground and then what's going to happen is it's going to be done on the outside and they're going to be working like mad men on the inside but Petker Cobalt uh FGM they've all done I just very happy with how it's gone amazing you know we hired Cobalt that's one thing I kind of wanted to echo also is we hired Cobalt was a new kind of a new idea that normally the architect has a rep that kind of does project manager and leads us through and we decided we wanted somebody to look at more of our interest and uh Kim Pollock has been doing a fantastic job. I mean, I was actually sitting in that meeting this morning and I was going to tell you, I mean, it's she is so on the ball and and pretty much running things and and getting the the details that I didn't think about or you didn't think about or that aren't even being brought up.

Yeah. So um first of all at year end of June 30th if we're down 20,000 25 $30,000 how do we cover that? Is that basically the June 30th budget move where we're taking a reserve out of here and putting it into the food budget would be your recommendation. I guess it'll be incorporated into the final number. So once I know the final number, you know, from from Erica, I'll make sure that we cover that if that's the way we're going to handle it. Sure. Okay. Um and with regard to collections, just me sitting here, but I I am confident that you have had um significant outreach to people. I I am confident that there are people who cannot pay and I'm also guessing there are some people who can pay. And if you have an inkling as to who those people are, I would have zero problem with sending that to a collection agency.

Uh so we've corrected some errors and we have also added additional information on here so that if somebody uh were to look at the principal's evaluation when we had only done the first four standards they would understand why we had made those designations at that point um uh you know that that look very different. So for instance proficient uh under the first four standards ranges from 159 to 204 points but to be proficient at the end the score needs to be between 220 and 282. Okay. So uh these are just kind of uh clerical errors that we made initially and and I'm asking you to approve this. Has the principal seen this? Yes. and and that was uh we used it because I needed to do evaluations, but it was when I did the first one that I recognized that we had calculated those numbers in the tan box incorrectly.
