Official Text
To the Honorable City Council:
I respectfully request a supplemental appropriation of $600,000 to the Somerville School Department, School Lunch Revolving Fund for the purpose of funding a projected deficit in the fund for FY2021.
The Somerville School Department projects a $600,000 deficit account by June 30, 2021 that will need to be covered by other funding sources. The point of sale school lunch revenue and catering business, which has provided several hundred thousand dollars per annum during previous fiscal years, has been reduced to zero due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Staff from the Somerville School Department will be available to address any questions you may have.
Thank you for your consideration of this item.
Respectfully Submitted,
Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
