Final Budget Report (Food Service) 6.24.pdf
 
Summary:
The Department of Public Instruction directed RASD to reduce its fund balance, which had grown due to increased federal reimbursements following the pandemic. For the 2023-2024 year, RASD incurred a net loss of $36,557 after investing in capital equipment, maintaining steady lunch prices, and providing free breakfast to all students. The year ended with a fund balance of $428,538, with further capital equipment purchases anticipated for 2024-2025.  
Budgetary Impact:
The food service program, operated through Fund 50, was financially self-sustaining in 2023-2024 and did not require any transfers from the General Fund.
