Board affirms three-year school wellness agreement with Northwest Michigan Health Department
Summary
Trustees affirmed a three-year interagency agreement with the Health Department of Northwest Michigan to provide school wellness services; the agreement includes a 60-day escape clause and a 2027 grant-cycle reference that staff explained.
The board reaffirmed a three-year interagency agreement with the Health Department of Northwest Michigan to continue the district's school wellness program.
Staff told the board the department uses five-year grant cycles that run through 2027, which may be why the paperwork shows that end date; the current request was for a three-year affirmation by the district. Staff also said the agreement includes a 60-day escape clause and that the department asks districts to formally recognize the agreement regularly for administrative reasons.
Board members asked whether a yearly affirmation is necessary if the contract's end date is 2027; staff explained the administrative reasons (changes in signatories and updated questionnaire language) behind the repeated affirmations and said they will follow up with the department for clarity on timing.
The motion to approve the interagency agreement passed.
