Consultant Agreement between AUSD and Huls Environmental Mangement LLC.pdf
Rationale: The Consultant, Jon Michael Huls, will work with the District to implement the program in two phases; the first phase will focus on educating and training students and key employees of AUSD to understand and embrace the sorting of food wastes from non-organic wastes in keeping with the dictates of SB 1383. The second phase of the project will aim to expand to all AUSD schools early in the fall semester of 2024. The program will provide students and key employees with a fun and engaging experience focusing on how to sort food waste on campus during lunch periods and to understand why the effort is important and what the benefits are to students and the community in helping to ameliorate the effects of climate change on a local scale. This is the first time AUSD will be utilizing the services of Jon Michael Huls.
Budgetary Impact: The cost, not to exceed $8,000, to be paid from Supplemental and Concentration funds.
