Fold a vacant Central Kitchen custodian position into the delivery driver role

IN SHORT

Goal: The Food Services department spends less on staffing for these duties. (plus 1 more goal below)

Result: Not enough data. The public reports available don’t yet include the details needed to check this goal.

After the part-time custodian at the Food Services Central Kitchen retired, the board eliminated that position and expanded the food services delivery driver's hours from 27.5 to 32.5 per week so the driver could take on the cleaning duties.

What the district said, word for word.

  1. GOAL 01

    “eliminating the part-time custodian position and reallocating its essential cleaning duties to the food services delivery driver will significantly enhance productivity, improve staff time utilization, and generate cost savings for the department.”

    Agenda item 20.1, Current Considerations · Signed Board Minutes, October 8, 2024, p. 22(opens in a new tab)

    In plain words
    The Food Services department spends less on staffing for these duties.
    Estimated amount
    No dollar amount stated
    How it will be checked

    Agenda item 20.1, Fiscal Impact · Signed Board Minutes, October 8, 2024, p. 22(opens in a new tab)

    In plain words

    Estimated amount
    No dollar amount stated

REVIEW DATE

September 15, 2026()

Receipts default rule: when the district publishes what it actually spent in 2025-26 (its "Unaudited Actuals" report).

The district didn't name a review date, so Receipts uses the date the district reports actual spending for the first full year after the change. How review dates work

Stamp

How did it turn out? What the stamps mean

Stamps describe what public documents show. They are never a judgment of anyone's work or intentions.

Not enough data

Stamped October 5, 2026 · Every quote checked against its source · Approved by a person before publishing

The Unaudited Actuals show Cafeteria Fund (Fund 13) classified salaries of $721,068.56 in 2024-25 and $834,962.03 in 2025-26. Those totals cover all Food Services classified staff, and the department grew during this time: in April 2025 the board approved added Food Services staffing to expand fresh meal production. Because of that, the totals can't show the effect of this one change. A short comparison from the district of the former custodian position and the driver's added hours would make it possible to share the result.
