Big Spring School District moves to apply for pilot summer food‑service program
Summary
The board endorsed submitting a state application to pilot a summer food‑service program in summer 2026; discussion emphasized coordination with local food banks and nonprofits and that approval at the state level is required before the program proceeds.
The district’s wellness committee and administration recommended submitting a state application to pilot a summer food‑service program for summer 2026. The presenter noted there is no application fee and that state approval will be required before the district proceeds with program staffing and service details.
Board members asked about overlap with existing community programs; the wellness coordinator said the district is coordinating with local nonprofits and food banks to avoid duplication. One board member said the pilot could help address summer food insecurity and thanked staff and volunteer partners for their work on the proposal. The board moved and seconded the recommendation to submit the application for state approval.
