For your review is narrative portion of our SARC, School Accountability Report Card. The purpose of the report card is to provide parents and the community with important information about us as a public school. A SARC can be an effective way for a school to report on its progress in achieving goals. The public may also use a SARC to evaluate and compare schools on a variety of indicators. The state has not yet completed the upload of all state data but for your preview I am bringing to you the initial draft.  The final draft with state imported data will be posted to our website in early Spring.  The deadline in usually the first of February.

For your review is the first reading of a new board policy outlining our commitment to our new food service program that not only meets federal guidelines but is also mindful of healthy choices for our students.  At our last meeting the wrong policy was inadvertently uploaded.  You will find the correct policy attached.  Recommendation for approval is requested.

For your review is the second reading of a new board policy outlining meal count accuracy, student payment and account balance. Changes deleting any penalty or meal withholding for any student that has a past balance are reflected in red. This will allow our policy and procedure to be in line with the recent new changes to the Child Hunger Prevention and Fair Treatment Act that went into effect this past October. Recommendation for approval is requested.
