Executive Summary
The Director of Food and Nutrition Services, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board approval for out of state travel for Lori Drenth, Holly Longo, Jennifer Weaver and Bill Ward to attend the School Nutrition Association, Annual National Conference in Denver, CO July 8-July 12, 2023. The National Conference is held each year to give school nutrition professionals an opportunity to learn new information, share ideas and brainstorm solutions to ever changing school district financial landscapes. Additionally, a total of 12 continuing education units are available for RD’s which are needed to maintain my registration status. This conference is most beneficial to the district office food staff, as we work diligently to keep current on menu trends, cost saving opportunities, equipment information and many other vital pieces of information presented at this conference. All expenses are paid out of budgeted food service funds which is estimated at $5,030.

Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
