Title
APPROVAL OF THE REVISED JOB DESCRIPTION FOR FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICES AREA SUPERVISOR

Description
Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) is requesting to increase the Salary from H to F and clarify job requirements.

Gap Analysis
FNS has posted the position eight times since 2019 and currently has two vacancies. 

Previous Outcomes 
FNS has only been able to hire three Area Supervisors (two internal applicants and one external applicant in the last four years).  An Area Supervisor stepped down in January 2024. Of the three hires, only the most recent has been able to support the schools in the position in the manner needed for the program requirements and support students.

Expected Outcomes 
Like the Nutrition Specialist position (upgraded this year 23/24), FNS saw the posting yield more qualified applicants and was able to hire someone with extensive School Nutrition experience. FNS Supervisors would be able to support program mission and goals which would allow FNS to better support schools which would support student achievement.

Strategic Plan Goal

Pillar 3 - Every Employee Valued

Priority 3.1 - Recruit, Recognize, and Retain


Recommendation
That the revised job description for Food and Nutrition Services Area Supervisor be approved as presented.
