Rich County School District adopted the proposed 2014-2015 budget.  The budget will be on the Rich County School website.

Peggie Fuller has been hired to be the new Food Service Director for the Rich County School District.  She is replacing Judy Jackson who is retiring.  Deanne Weston will be the new cook for Rich High in Randolph.

A few editorial changes were made in Child Nutrition Policy. The school district will engage students, parents, teachers, food service professionals, health professionals, and other interested community members in developing, implementing, monitoring, and reviewing district-wide nutrition and physical activity policies.   The school will serve only fat free or low-fat (1%) and 2% milk and nutritionally-equivalent non-daily alternatives (to be defined by USDA; and ensure that 51% of the served grains are whole grain.

Vending machines will be allowed in secondary school in Rich School Districts during approved times.

Policy 601.3.4.1 requires the hiring of assistant coaches to be subject to the same procedures as are applicable to the hiring of full-time coaches.

All volunteers are subject to a background check. A $25.00 fee, which will be paid by the District, will be assessed.  This will be an on-going requirement.  A background check is good for 5 years.    This background check will require pre-planning of any activities, whether on or off campus, where volunteers will be involved. 

A proposal dealing with wages and benefits was accepted by both the Employed and Classified personnel.  It was reported that both employee groups felt the Board was fair and open with them during negotiations.
