Board approves minor policy updates to lunch/wellness and procurement thresholds
Summary
Board voted to adopt revisions to policies 25‑10 (school lunch/wellness) and 82‑10 (procurement thresholds) to add required numeric amounts and a three‑year informal wellness assessment posting requirement.
The board approved revisions to two district policies that codify required numeric amounts and reporting expectations for the school lunch/wellness program and change procurement threshold language.
The superintendent explained that when the policies were transferred to the Montana School Boards Association (MTSBA) site some numeric amounts and a wellness‑posting statement were omitted. Policy 25‑10 now includes the required amounts and a statement that the school wellness policy will be informally assessed every three years with results posted in a publicly accessible area. Policy 82‑10 now specifies small purchase thresholds (greater than $10,000 up to $80,000) that were previously missing on the website.
A motion to approve the revisions was made and seconded; the board recorded a voice assent during the meeting and staff will work with MTSBA to update the online policy repository.
The changes are editorial and align the district policies with MTSBA templates and statutory expectations; no substantive program changes were announced.
