7.C. Discussion and Possible Action Regarding Healthy Food Certification Annual Statement
Speaker(s):
Mr. Steven Rioux
Rationale:
Section 10-215f of the Connecticut General Statutes requires that each local board of education or governing authority for all Connecticut public school districts participating in the National School Lunch Program must take action annually to certify whether all food items sold to students will or will not meet the CNS. If the Board of Education or governing authority votes "yes' for healthy food option, the BoE must also vote on whether to allow food exemptions. This will be the second motion. Beverage exemption are not part of the annual HFC Statement, which applies only to food sales. If the district chooses to allow beverage exemptions, the CSDE recommends that the board of education conducts the vote on beverage exemptions at the same time as the vote on HFC participation and food exemptions. THis will be the third motion.

Section 10-215f, the Killingly Board of Education or governing authority certifies that all food items offered for sale to students in the schools under its jurisdiction, and not exempted form the Connecticut Nutrition Standards published by the CSDE, will comply with the Connecticut Nutrition Standards during the period of July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019. This certification shall include all food offered for sale to students separately from reimbursable meals at all times and from all sources, including but not limited to, school stores, vending machines, school cafeterias, and any fundraising activities on school premises sponsored by the school or by non-school organization and groups.
