Sam Baldwin, the district's nutrition director, told the board the child-nutrition program expects higher costs next year but is not asking for local budget support.
Baldwin said the FY27 nutrition budget shows an increase of about "5.88" percent, the majority attributable to food costs (about 4 percent) and some professional development. She emphasized the program is "not asking for any money from the local budget," and that projected enrollment increases mean the department expects to serve more meals next year.
Board members thanked Baldwin for the overview and had no further questions; the presentation moved on to the next department report.
