Administration recommends keeping school meals free while state aid is finalized
Summary
With the State of Michigan school-aid budget still unsettled, administration recommended approving free school meals in the district budget for now and adjusting after the state budget is finalized; the committee recommended full-board support.
Administrators told the Finance & Property Committee that while the State of Michigan school-aid budget is not yet final, school-meal funding is expected to be included and staff recommend keeping meals free for all in the district budget for the time being.
The committee recommended full-board support of that approach and staff indicated they will adjust the district budget after the state finalizes the school-aid budget. The transcript does not record any public comment for or against the recommendation at the Oct. 2 meeting.
The recommendation preserves free meals pending confirmation of state funding; staff will return with any necessary adjustments once the state’s school-aid numbers are released.
