Board approves personnel to offer reimbursable grab‑and‑go evening meals for students
Summary
The board approved personnel additions to allow schools to offer a 15–30 minute grab‑and‑go evening supper for students, described as reimbursable meals and aimed at supporting extracurricular students.
The Lincoln County Board of Education approved personnel items Tuesday that include staff to offer an evening grab‑and‑go supper for students. A district staff member explained item C, saying Food Service Director Ms. Atkins worked with principals to adjust schedules so schools can offer an afternoon intervention period of 15 to 30 minutes at the end of the day and a grab‑and‑go evening meal before students go home. The staff member said those meals will be reimbursable and therefore “of no cost to our district.” Board members praised Ms. Atkins for taking the lead. Missus Burns said, “Kudos to Ms. Atkins for making that happen.” The motion to approve the personnel items, which included these meal positions, was made by Missus Burns, seconded by Miss McComis, and passed 4-0. The board did not specify exact staffing counts for the supper program beyond describing the positions on the personnel agenda; staff described the meals as supporting students who do not have food at home and helping extracurricular students.
