Superintendent: state budget uncertainty limits universal meals beyond September; class-size and ACT-WorkKeys bills noted
Summary
The superintendent told the board the state budget is unsettled so free breakfast and lunch are guaranteed only through September; she also noted a pending K-3 class-size bill (district ineligible for the accompanying grant) and a likely opt-out for ACT WorkKeys for junior students.
During the superintendent report, Leasa Griffith-Mathews told trustees that the state had not finalized its budget and that universal free breakfast and lunch were guaranteed only through September under the current status.
Griffith-Mathews outlined two items of legislative interest: a bill that would limit class sizes to no more than 19 students in grades K-3 (she said a grant to help larger districts does not apply to Mendon) and a likely bill to permit parents to opt junior students out of the ACT WorkKeys test.
