The July 14, 2025, meeting of the Lansing USD 469 Board of Education focused on several key agenda items, with a significant discussion surrounding the Kansas State Department of Education (KSD) Childhood Nutrition and Wellness Program (CNP) agreement for the upcoming year.

The meeting began with the introduction of the KSD CNP agreement, which the board is required to approve and submit to the state by July 15 each year. The board reviewed multiple options for the agreement, including the current 2022 version and a modified 2025 version. A line-out version of the agreement was also presented for consideration.

A board member recommended adopting the 2022 agreement, citing its compliance with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's civil rights requirements. The member emphasized that if the board chose to implement the 2025 version, it would necessitate updates to all relevant school nutrition program forms and materials, placing the responsibility on the district. This could lead to additional administrative work if changes were required later.

The recommendation to adopt the 2022 version was made to streamline the process and minimize the need for multiple updates should further changes arise from the state. The board ultimately agreed to proceed with the 2022 agreement, ensuring compliance while reducing potential complications.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to maintaining efficient operations within the school nutrition program while adhering to state requirements. The decision to adopt the 2022 CNP agreement reflects a proactive approach to managing future changes in regulations.
