TLDR:
- Trigg County Schools approved price increases for adult breakfast and lunch meals.
- Enrollment for the district is already at 70% of current capacity, raising concerns about a potential influx of students.
In a recent board meeting, Trigg County Schools addressed several key issues affecting the district. Food Services Director Lisa Marsh secured approval for price increases on adult breakfast and lunch meals. The cost of breakfast will rise from $2.75 to $3.25, while lunch will increase from $4.84 to $5 to streamline transactions. The school cafeteria, recently remodeled, is ready for the upcoming academic year and events like the Gala of Tables.
Dr. Erin Graves, owner of Trigg County Veterinary Clinic, expressed concerns about her son’s enrollment at Trigg County Primary due to living just outside the county line. With online enrollment already at 70% capacity, concerns are growing about a potential surge in student numbers before classes commence in the fall. This uptick in enrollment, while presenting logistical challenges, is viewed positively by school officials considering past issues with attendance.
Rory Fundora, the schools’ chief information officer, addressed cyber security concerns, highlighting the rampant data breaches in educational institutions, and confirming Trigg County Schools’ exposure in a recent AT&T breach. The board also discussed the potential sale or purchase of district property during an executive session without taking any immediate action.
