4.1. Approval of Resolution #21-02 Student Transfer Numbers
Presenter:
Dr. Paul Hillyer, Superintendent
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Description:
NARRATIVE
BACKGROUND
Transfers to all elementary schools will be as follows: K-2 is limited to an ongoing number of transfers that cap classes at 25 students per core subjects (Math, ELA) and for grades 3-5 limited to 30 students per core subject (Math, ELA). What this means is the district at each K-5 school will accept transfers throughout the year from outside the district or from within the district at each
grade as long as the addition to that school and grade does not go above the capped limits given above. The administration recommends the Board approve student transfers to a building only if the transfer student will not put the desired classroom at under two (2) free spaces (70 ft) as determined by the ODE Operational Blueprint requirement that each student and adult in a classroom will have 35 sq. ft. of space to meet social distancing requirements. Should the ODE Operational Blueprint requirement change, the administration requests that the transfers be allowed up to the ODE space requirements while maintaining the two (2) free spaces. If ODE removes the space limitations, then transfers to all elementary schools will be as follows: K-2 is limited to an ongoing number of transfers that cap classes at 25 students per core subjects (Math, ELA) and for grades 3-5 limited to 30 students per core subject (Math, ELA). What this means is the district at each K-5 school will accept transfers throughout the year from outside the district or from within the district at each grade as long as the addition to that school and grade does not go above the capped limits shown above. |

4.5. Chartwell's Contract Extension
Presenter:
Renee Clark, Director of Human Resources & Brandon Shepperd, Food Service
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Description:
NARRATIVE
BACKGROUND
The District's Food Service Management Contract (FSMC), currently in it's 5th year, is set to expire on June 30, 2021. Due to COVID, the United States Department of Agriculture has approved a Nationwide Waiver of Food Service Management Contract Duration in the National School Lunch Program and Summer Food Service Program. This national waiver allows FSMC contracts that may expire by or around June 30, 2021, and have not been extended for SY 2020-2021 to be extended through school year 2021-2022 (June 30, 2022). The extension will include the contractual CPI increase based upon the March 2021 CPI data which will be released in mid-April.
The FSMC contract with Chartwells' has a guaranteed return of $25,000 per school year. Prior to this contract the Food Service Program was in the negative and had to be supplemented by the District's general fund. Our current Food Service Director, Brandon Sheppard, took over in January 2020, just prior to the shut down. While Mr. Sheppard had been preparing menu overhauls and working with our Wellness Committee and Klamath Hunger Coalition to improve options, he had to quickly halt those plans and create a dynamic District-wide COVID plan. In just a matter of days, he worked with staff to provide meals for our students at home. With the ever-changing COVID requirements, he has successfully delivered over 333,333 grab-and-go meals (April 2020-February 2021) for district families. If the District were to publish an RFP now, it would be impossible to provide accurate meal counts since we have been distributing meals under the Summer Food Program. By extending this contract and proceeding with the RFP in 2022, we will be able to publish accurate numbers based on the new school years' counts.
