Board approves single district contract with Mountain Park Head Start for child nutrition; presenter cites USDA reimbursements and a $3,500 equipment award
Summary
Miss Thomas explained a streamlined contract with Mountain Park Head Start covering on- and off-site food service arrangements and USDA claim/reimbursement flows; she also noted a farm-to-school institute opportunity that could bring a $3,500 hydroponic grow tower to a school site.
Miss Thomas, joining by Teams, presented the Child and Adult Care Food Program contract and explained it replaces separate site contracts with a single streamlined contract covering all on- and off-site locations. She said Mountain Park provides food for off-site students while Wyoming County Schools makes the USDA claims and bills Mountain Park for reimbursements.
"It is a collaboration through the average Indian Department of Ed, Office of Child Nutrition," Miss Thomas said while describing the partnership and the procedures for claiming federal reimbursements. She also noted a farm-to-school institute opportunity linked to the program and said "we will hopefully receive a $3,500, hydroponic grow tower." Staff recommended approval, the board moved and seconded the item, and the contract was approved by voice vote.
The contract documentation appears in the board packet starting on page 91 with additional explanatory material through page 96. Board members thanked Miss Thomas for the clear chart summarizing on-site and off-site responsibilities.
