Summary
Oakland County authorized acceptance of annual child nutrition grants administered through the Michigan Department of Education, expected to reimburse Children's Village about $235,000 for school lunch, breakfast and after-school snacks.
Oakland County commissioners voted to accept child nutrition program reimbursements for Children's Village from the Michigan Department of Education for fiscal year 2025–26. Heather Calcutera, joined by Laurie Strong, said the awards are annual and reimburse the county for meals and snacks provided through the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs and the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
Calcutera said the county expects reimbursement of about $235,000 for the year; she noted that the amount is a projection because monthly meal claims vary with census. A motion to accept the grant was made by Commissioner Woodward and seconded by Commissioner Spieth; the board recorded five votes in favor and none opposed and carried the motion.
The approval allows the county to receive reimbursement payments as meal claims are filed; there were no substantive questions from commissioners during the presentation.
