The Committee reviewed a letter from the Superintendent indicating his recommendation of the policy . He was unable
to attend the meeting due to a conflict with negotiations so he sent his recommendation in favor of the revised policy.
The Policy Subcommittee suggested that the word celebration be changed to curriculum events and used throughout
the policy for consistency . They also suggested that all foods must have a nutritional label/ingredient list attached .
After reviewing the entire Wellness Policy it was suggested that the Wellness Committee review the entire policy and
make it consistent with the new changes . The menu option for breakfast was mentioned . They did not think the
breakfast items served were healthy and that perhaps cooking food for such small numbers would be better .
Fundraising and the wording in that part of the policy was discussed . They would like the Wellness Policy Subcommittee
clarify the wording, "discourage the use . " They did not feel the language was clear . They also wondered if food could
be sold after or before school . Are we keeping the school safe on campus with fundraising events ? It was mentioned by
Josh Stewart that some fundraisers bring the community together.
They want to discourage building based mini policies .
Motion .
On a motion by Betsy Pontius, seconded by Josh Stewart, it was voted unanimously, to adopt the proposed policy
changes with modifications changing the word celebrate to events and to request the Wellness Policy Subcommittee to
review the entire policy paying special attention to the fundraising piece .
