8.A.1. Healthy Foods Certification
Rationale:
The State requires a vote by the Board to assure adherence to the prescribed guidelines. The Healthy Foods program, requirements and implications will be explained at the meeting. The Superintendent will request a vote to continue our participation in this program. Bethel Public Schools has participated in the CT State Department of Education Healthy Food Certification Program for many years. By participating, Bethel can only serve snacks and a la carte items that specifically have been approved by the CSDE Bureau of Health & Nutrition. Each year we report to the CSDE each and every a la carte/snack item that we serve in our schools and it is checked against the approved list. The CSDE has been pleased with our adherence to the law. For participation the District receives an additional 10 cents reimbursement from the State on each meal served. This is important as with the choices of snack items limited, the revenue has dipped. The additional 10 cents has been kept us on track. First the BOE must choose whether to renew its participation in this program and second, the BOE has to choose to renew its allowance of the exception of items not on the CSDE list when sold after school at events.

8.A.2. Banking Resolution - Official Signature
