Board authorizes update to school-meal policy to reference USDA guidance
Summary
The board authorized the superintendent to update Policy 5402 with language referencing the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, following a recommendation from the district's nutrition program adviser.
The Board of Education authorized the superintendent on June 11 to update Policy 5402 to incorporate language aligning district meal-charging rules with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service guidance.
Superintendent Dr. Willett said the changes were minor updates to Shipman's model policy and included a paragraph Shipman recommended be added to the district's version of the policy. A board member moved to "authorize the superintendent to update Policy 5402 with the changes presented in the 06/11/2025 meeting," and another board member seconded. The motion passed on a roll-call vote.
The board recorded no further substantive amendments to the policy during the meeting; members described the update as largely procedural to ensure the district's charge language aligns with federal program requirements.
The superintendent was authorized to implement the updated policy.
