So we have high school social studies high school counselor and middle school spec teacher. Nice. And then their resumes are here.
003Very highly qualified for the two that did come in with resumes. social studies teacher has a strong military background. Still active. So it'll be good good experience bring in still active. Still active in the reserves. Oh, okay. Yeah. So yeah, we already have a policy for Yeah. And yeah, it was um a good group a good group of fighters. I'll move that we approve the hiring for the three that we have on the agenda tonight. Got a motion from Corey and a second from Stacy to approve the request hire list. Discussion from the public. Discussion from the board. All those in favor of approving the request higher list say I. I. All those post say sign. Hearing none. Motion passes. Next, so we have Chartwell is going to be our new food service provider. By
004approving this, this will give us Deian and I and Kelly permission to move forward with getting their contract in place. And then they have other transition teams already here. So they'll be able then to go ahead and start moving forward with getting taking over. They'll start July 1. So they'll be taking over the summer feed for the rest of the summer and then work right into the school year. So, um, very impressed with the diversity of what they offered, their pricing, all of it was, it was, um, impressive. So, we're very excited to be, um, working with them. Deian, I think, met some of them at MASPO. Yeah. So, um, and I do have, if you guys would like to grab one of these and look at them, that's got all of their stuff in
005there. And in the front, you'll see what we scored them on. There's a scorecard and they tell you what page the address set in there. So, it's really easy to follow. So, if you want to take a look at that, it is right there. We take it for Yeah. Uh the equipment down in the kitchen, is it ours or everything stays? Okay. Yeah. And then they all have discussions about the dry goods, all that stuff. That's all part of that transition. Okay. So, right now, this doesn't affect obviously pricing. We have free remains for the next three years. Three years. When that ends, do we expect I mean obviously inflation's anyways, but do we expect a change in I think that we'll probably unless there's some drastic change or they stop this, we'll probably continue
006with the community eligibility unless something changes drastically. But if we lost that, would it change the affordability for lunches for the kids? If not, no, it would change. It would just um parents would have to pay. So that's the only difference. And we had no trouble with that before. It's about the same. It's less. It was less than the other bit that came in. Yeah. Yeah. They actually worked on some things that made it work for them because it's all 100% free, which we knew it might be an issue. So, we made sure everybody knew that above above board. So, they seem to think that they worked it out to where it'll be okay. If we go back to full pay again, it'll just be an adjustment of what the pricing looks like. Yeah. Yeah.
007So unfortunately I don't I don't either but I just Well our our free reduced rate I don't see that. Yeah we are going down. Yeah I agree but I just I move that we approve the charts as Lockwood's food service management company second from Jackie.
