CNS reports rising participation, fresh-fruit program funded; transcript contains ambiguous grant figure
Summary
Child Nutrition Services reported small increases in meal participation, a positive administrative review for summer programs, a fresh fruit & vegetable program funded by a grant (amount stated inconsistently in the transcript), and Thanksgiving service plans for Nov. 21.
CNS staff summarized participation for breakfast and lunch programs and said breakfast participation showed a modest increase this year, particularly at the high school. Staff credited menu changes and more active managers in cafeterias for higher participation in some sites.
The CNS presenter said the district was awarded a fresh fruit and vegetable program grant and that "we were granted with a total of ... a little bit over $199,000," language that appears in the transcript but that also contains inconsistent numeric wording. The presenter described twice-weekly fruit-and-vegetable activities for students (Tuesdays and Thursdays) and said the grant funds will be used while they last. CNS staff also reported a successful administrative on-site review for the district's summer program and outlined plans for a Thanksgiving lunch on Nov. 21 with pre-sale tickets for campus and community participants.
CNS staff said they are not yet running an after-school supper program this year because funds for after-school activities are not currently available; they will resume supper programming if participation and funding permit. The board heard the update as informational; no new CNS budget action was taken at the meeting.
