Attachment: BAIenc8-17-2010CSD-CO.pdf New Business25. PUBLIC HEARING ON A POLICY REGARDING UNIVERSAL FREE BREAKFAST PROGRAMDescription Florida Statute Section 1006.06(5)(c) requires district School Boards to approve or disapprove a policy to offer universal free breakfast at all elementary, middle, and high schools with 80% or more students eligible for free or reduced price meals after hearing public testimony at two or more School Board meetings. This is the second of two opportunities for the Board to receive public testimony on this issue.
Recommendation Public Hearing
Minutes: No Hearing of Citizens 26. POLICY ON UNIVERSAL FREE BREAKFAST PROGRAMDescription
Florida Statute 1006.06(5)(c) provides that each district School Board shall approve or disapprove a policy, after receiving public testimony concerning the proposed policy at two or more regular meetings, which makes universal-free school breakfast meals available to all students in each elementary, middle, and high school in which 80 percent or more of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Staff recommends the School Board disapprove such a policy. Universal free breakfast is an unfunded program which, if adopted, would represent an estimated annual expense of $45,500 to the district's Food and Nutrition Services program. Additionally, a universal free breakfast policy is unnecessary at this time, as students approved for free or reduced priced lunches are automatically eligible to receive free or reduced priced breakfasts at all of our schools today. Students who do not qualify for free or reduced lunch may also purchase breakfast at a very nominal fee.
Recommendation The School Board disapprove a policy that would offer universal free breakfast at all elementary, middle and high schools with 80% or more students eligible for free or reduced price meals.

Announcements/Comments27. ANNOUNCEMENTS/COMMENTSDescription N/A
Recommendation N/A
Minutes: Board member Caroline Zucker stated that this is the last meeting prior to the election next week and thanked the staff for all of their hard work. It has not been easy and Mr. Weidner in particular has been inundated with requests. This has been the busiest time of the year for him. He has been very diligent in making sure that every request was answered. One candidate commented to Mrs. Zucker that whenever he needed anything he would just call Al and he would get what he needed. Mrs. Zucker thanked Scott Ferguson and Gary Leatherman for the time they have given in making sure that all the candidates have been provided with the materials they requested. It must be disappointing to spend all of those hours, charge a fee, and then see the material that you have spent hours copying just sitting because no one has picked it up. Mrs. Zucker stated she greatly appreciated all of their work for the last several months and the diligence and dedication in making sure that everyone was kept informed.
Board member Carol Todd stated this was the last meeting before school starts and reminded the public that the big yellow buses would be on the road and if you have any questions about whether or not to stop or how many yards to stop before or after the bus, please go on the district website and view the Rules of the Road. All the information is there. We ask that you drive carefully and our children are safe as they begin school.
Board Chair Shirley Brown stated it is that time of year when trim notices were received in the mail. Mrs. Brown asked the public to look closely at the notices and she gave an overall explanation of the notices. Adjournment28. ADJOURNMENTDescription N/A
