A review of delivery slips, meal counts and the signed kitchen contract finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the kitchens at East Gate School. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: two schools share one cold store during its repair.
The delivery slips, meal counts and the signed kitchen contract lists 64 meals delivered before the midday bell; the previous window lists 59. Tomas Reed checked both against time-stamped route logs checked against field visits. The source was checked against a second copy held by Nia Ball. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The vendor counts a delivery at the store door. Kitchen staff count it when food reaches each school. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how to keep meals on time when separate schools use a temporary shared store.
Anew review window opens with a dated question and a named clerk. The Year second, river rise window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The school board will compare store receipts with kitchen arrival logs.
