Board approves 15‑year food shelf partnership and youth services agreement
Summary
The Big Lake School Board approved a 15‑year agreement with the Big Lake Community Food Shelf and a youth services program agreement, both recommended by staff and described as reviewed by attorneys on both sides.
Board members approved a long‑term agreement with the Big Lake Community Food Shelf after a district presenter said the contract had been negotiated and reviewed by district counsel and the food shelf’s attorneys. The presenter described the agreement as a mutual, long‑term partnership (15 years) designed to support community food‑security work; she recommended board approval and said the food shelf board would schedule its own meeting to act after the district's approval.
A separate motion to approve a youth services program agreement was made and seconded; the board approved both items by voice vote. The district presenter said no substantive questions were raised and that staff had worked with legal counsel to align protections for the district.
Next steps: staff will finalize signatures and notify the food shelf and youth services partners; the food shelf will follow its bylaws regarding its own board vote.
