District staff described a pilot after‑school feeding program that provides sack lunches to participants and is reimbursable through the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
"It's the child and adult care food program," the staff member said, explaining the district began an after‑school enrichment program two Thursdays ago that allows the district to provide a meal (a sack lunch) to participants and receive federal reimbursement. The initial offering has served athletes and JV/freshman teams after practices and the district reported positive feedback from families and staff.
Staff said the program is fully reimbursable when open to all and hoped to expand once counselors and families understand the offering; no additional local funds were requested during the report.
