District highlights Healthy Schools goals and expanded meal programs; all students still eat free under CEP
Summary
Staff reported school-level Healthy Schools goals and highlighted growth in summer feeding and a new CACFP supper program; the district remains in the USDA Community Eligibility Provision so all students receive free meals.
The board received the annual Healthy Schools report, which summarizes school-by-school goals for student and staff wellness, physical activity, and positive classroom climate.
Presenters noted that the district continues to participate in the USDA Community Eligibility Provision, enabling all students to receive school meals at no charge. Staff highlighted two expanding revenue streams that support nutrition services: summer feeding (presented revenue cited around $98,857 for recent summer operations) and a new CACFP supper program with first-semester revenue described as roughly $100,000. The presenters described the programming and staff who operate the services and credited the expansion with helping sustain free meal access for families.
Board members thanked staff for the continued focus on nutrition and wellness; no action beyond the informational report was required.
