The Regular Session of the North Santiam School District’s Board of Directors is called to order at 6:00 pm.

6. PUBLIC COMMENT
Description:
The meeting will now be opened to receive public comment. We value the time and initiative members of the public take to share their thoughts with the Board. The Board’s role during public comment is not to immediately respond, but to listen. If there is follow-up necessary, we will direct our Superintendent to do so. Remember that we all model the way for our students, and we ask that everyone share their thoughts respectfully. Should any public comment include complaints regarding a personally identifiable District staff member, the Board chair will direct the speaker to the proper administrative process found in Board policy KL which can be found on the table near the entrance of the room and on the District's website. Those who have completed a public comment card will be called one at a time to step forward (or turn on their cameras/mics) and state their name and relationship to the District. Please note that speakers will have three minutes to express their thoughts.
To submit questions for a follow-up response, please complete the form available near the room entrance or via this link QUESTIONS |

7.3. Policy Correction
Description:
When Policy EFAA-AR was updated on 2/17/22, it contained a line that the current NSSD Food Services Director believes should have been struck out when submitted to NSSD from OSBA as part of their Policy Plus program. It is shown below and on the attachment under the section entitled
General USDA NSLP/SBP/SMP Requirements Meal and item charge requirements will include the following: a. All students may charge meals.
b. After the student has incurred the maximum allowed charges, K-8 students will receive an alternate meal.Providing a "less desirable, alternate meal" is no longer allowed and is not a practice at NSSD schools, so he recommended omitting it (line b). Since it is an AR, it does not require Board approval but is included so that the Board is made aware of the change.
