1. Discussion and possible action regarding the implementation of the Healthy Food Option.
MOTION: To certify, pursuant to C.G.S. Section 10-215f, that all food items offered for sale to students in the schools under its jurisdiction, and not exempted from the Connecticut Nutrition Standards published by the Connecticut State Department of Education, will comply with the Connecticut Nutrition Standards during the period of July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. 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
organizations and groups.

2. Discussion and possible action regarding food and beverage exemptions.
MOTION: To allow the sale to students of food items that do not meet the Connecticut Nutrition Standards and beverages not listed in Section 10-221q of the Connecticut General Statutes provided that the following conditions are met: 1) the sale is in connection with an event occurring after the end of the regular school day or on the weekend;
2) the sale is at the location of the event; and
3) the food and beverage items are not sold from a vending machine or school store. An “event” is an occurrence that involves more than just a regularly scheduled practice, meeting, or extracurricular activity. For example, soccer games, school plays, and interscholastic debates are events but soccer practices, play rehearsals, and debate team meetings are not. The “regular
school day” is the period from midnight before to 30 minutes after the end of the official school day. “Location” means where the event is being held, and must be the same place as the food sales.

3. Discussion and possible action regarding recognition of Paraprofessional Appreciation Day.
MOTION: To recognize April 7, 2021 as Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, and to direct the Superintendent of Schools to send a letter of appreciation to the paraprofessionals.

4. Discussion and possible action regarding recognition of Administrative Professionals Day.
MOTION: To recognize April 21, 2021 as Administrative Professionals Day, and to direct the Superintendent of Schools to send a letter of appreciation to the administrative professionals.
