Watkins adopts wellness policy
WATKINS GLEN—The Watkins Glen school board adopted the wellness policy, Monday, May 17.
Before it was approved, Superintendent Tom Phillips had a question about non-school organizations not being able to sell food during school hours, but had the issue explained.
Elementary Principal Rod Weeden said, for instance, it is so students don’t go door-to-door to teachers during class time. He added the school allows students to put something in the teacher’s lounge to sell food.
In other business:
• The board approved renewing the agreement for education and management services. Treasurer Gayle Sedlack said this is a service the district has contracted out for several years. She explained it offers resources if the district needs them.
• The district was authorized to participate in a cooperative bid for cafeteria supplies for the 2010-11 school year.
• The board reviewed the revised policy. Clerk Sharon Clark said the changes were ones mandated by the New York State School Board Association.
• The board approved hiring Denise Ayers as a food service helper. Phillips explained this is to replace a worker who retired, not an additional position.
The next regular board meeting will be Monday, June 7, at 6:30 p.m. |
