8.E. Hillview Cafeteria - Custodial Position
Rationale

This position at Hillview Academy is currently split between transportation and custodial as a bus monitor/custodian. 

We would like to realign this position to split between school nutrition and custodial.  This would allow us to more safely transport food and monitor temperatures while serving the students at Hillview.  The four school nutrition hours fall inside the recommended meals per labor hour standard used in determining staffing.  The custodial hours are currently budgeted.

8.F. Technology Dept Restructure
Rationale

With the vacancy of the Administrative Network Technician position and to better provide technology support to the District as the number of devices increase, request to restructure the Technology Department positions to the following with an increase cost of $26,413.09:

Computer Technician – 230 days

Computer Technician – 3 positions – 195 days

This is a change from 3 positions to 4 positions. This year’s budget includes 1 @ 255 days and 2 @ 190 days, so this is a net addition of 180 days. The added cost referenced above would come from the General Fund Contingency.

Attachments
8.G. Vehicle Purchases - Revised
Rationale

As the Board was notified in late October, the supply of 2022 Ford F250 ½ ton trucks approved on October 6th ($37,508 each) was no longer available. The 2023 model of that truck was considerably higher, so we searched for alternatives and found the following on the state price contract:

 

$42,543.60        2023 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD 1 ton 4X4 truck

 

For $5,036 more for each of the 3 trucks, we would get a newer model in a full-ton truck with all previously specified add-ons needed by the district for its work trucks. We are asking permission to replace the 3 previously-approved trucks with 3 alternative trucks described above (quote attached).

The additional $15,000 would come from Contingency and would not significantly impact Contingency.
