Update Regarding Lunch, Recess, and Snack Policies

At the most recent Minooka CCSD 201 school board meeting on April 29th, the proposed policy regarding lunch/recess time for grades 1 through 4 and the proposed policy for a second recess for grades 1 through 4 were brought up for a third reading (all proposed policies must receive an affirmative majority vote at each of three "readings" in order to be adopted) .  The proposed policy for snacks in the classroom and snacks provided by the PTO had previously been adopted after its third reading on March 25th.  (For some background regarding these policies, see previous posts here and here).

The proposed policy regarding lunch/recess time for grades 1 through 4 passed on its third reading with a unanimous vote.  The proposed policy for a second recess for grades 1 through 4 also passed on its third reading with a unanimous vote.  Both proposed policies have therefore been adopted as Minooka CCSD 201 board policies.
