Members of the Killingly community are encouraged to share their thoughts with the Board of Education and are invited to do so during this segment of the meeting.  However, in consideration of those in attendance and in an effort to proceed in a timely manner, comments will be a limited to 5 minutes per person.

Those making public comments will not be allowed to speak for a second time, until everyone wishing to speak has had an opportunity to do so.

When appropriate to do so, members of the Board and the administration may respond to comments. Follow-up discussion may need to take place outside of the meeting setting.

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.
