So, I'm going to turn it over to Miss Shelley Daniel. She is the director of school nutrition to tell you about what her team has been up to recently. >> Thank you. >> Good evening. First, I would like to say thank you to Mr. Waters

004for inviting us to be here tonight um to celebrate some really cool things that have gone on in our school nutrition program. Um first of all, this summer we operated 25 summer meal sites across the county. And I'm happy to say along with the book space, the schools, and our community sites, we serve 119,976 meals to our students this summer. That is about 3,300 meals a day. So, super excited about that and the work that our summer program did. >> Um, also, um, our summer program was awarded the local food for schools grant, which was $80,000 to spend with local farmers. We partnered with several local farmers, one being Anchored Shrimp Company and wi-i which allowed us to serve shrimp and grits at both of our high schools and the Georgia Peanut Commission which allowed

005us to purchase 1oz packages of um Georgia peanuts that we use on our breakfast protein packs. The Georgia School Nutri at the Georgia School Nutrition Conference in April, the Georgia Peanut Commission recognized Glen County with a thousand dollar check for being the district to use the most pounds of Georgia peanuts on their school menus. I'm very proud of our school nutrition program for their dedication to shop local. Another cool local fact is we also serve Rich's products on our normal cycle menus, which is the favorites are French toast sticks and the cheese stuffed pizza crunchers. And we also buy all of our people paper products from Sunost Paper Local. So, I love that we support local. Our Glen County Glen County also received awards at the state conference in Athens this year and I'm very

006proud of all of these accomplishments. The following staff graduated the Georgia Leadership Academy, which is a one-year intense leadership program. Um, first I'd like to recognize A Mills.

She advanced to the state level where she won the Georgia Naomi Tolbert employee central office employee of the year. So needless to say, I'm very proud of our school nutrition team this year. I'm so excited of all their accomplishments and

010we've had a great kickoff to the new year. So, I want to thank you for your support in our program, continual support in our program. Thank you. >> I just want to say we appreciate you so much. I can barely feed two children and I can't imagine what y'all do to feed almost 13,000 children every day, breakfast and lunch, and all that you do in the prep for that. So, I really appreciate all your efforts. Obviously, you're doing a fantastic job and we're glad you're here in Glen County bringing all these awards back >> to show. Yeah. >> Okay. So, we're on to our citizens address the board portion of the agenda and we did not have anyone sign up to speak at tonight's meeting. So, we'll move on to the approval of the agenda.

011Do I have a motion to approve the agenda as presented to us? >> Motion by Mr. Jackson >> second >> and a second by Mr. Dodin. All those in favor of approving tonight's agenda. It is unanimous with five of us here and one online or on the phone. All right, we'll look at our consent agenda items. So, we'll have number seven, approval of the July board meeting minutes. Number eight, A uh the personnel. 8B, field trips. 8 C1, good report. 8 D1, approval of the cap. Nope, we're going to we're going to hold 8D1 off of the consent agenda. But we will include 8D2, approval of phase 2 site development for Glendale replacement. 8D3, approval of the construction manager recommendation for Glendale Elementary replacement. 8 D4 approval of the Otis assessment and analytics. And then

012we have three policies that we were presented in June. So 8 E1 the board policy JGA suicide prevention. 8 E2 board policy JB student attendance and 8 E3 board policy GA RH employee leaves and absences. Does anyone have any recommendations for additions or deletions? Any discussion? All those in favor of approving approving the consent agenda items as presented. >> I need a motion. >> Oh, I'm sorry. Let's do a motion. Back up. >> I make a motion that we >> Okay. Thank you, Mr. Jackson. Mr. Jackson moves that we approve the agenda items. And Mr. Dodin's going to second. Now we'll redo that vote. Okay, five here, one on the phone. Uh, all right. So, we're going to back up to 8 D1, approval of the capital outlay contract for uh what is that one?

013Glendale Greer and G. >> Goodyear Greer. >> Good year. Okay. Going >> Yes. Goodyear Greer NG8. So, Mr. Haywood will will bring it up just as he's doing that. Uh the application that was on for the work session was the preliminary application. It still had to be verified. The numbers had to be verified at the state level and Mr. Hwood received it back um yesterday or today and there was a slight slight change. It was a slight decrease in the amount. So um but anyway he he can tell you the exact numbers here. >> Yes. If you'll look at the uh 100% where the state funds says 3,948,377. That amount decreased by $27,14. We lost basically two instructional units. They counted um initially in the application process, they counted the theater at Glen Academy as

014an instructional unit, which a drama classroom will count as an instructional unit, but not the theater. And then there was another one at Greer that was miscalculated as well. And the state gives you a a maximum of $14,000 per instructional unit. We were the exact amount was $13,552 per instructional unit. So you take away those two, that gave us a difference of $27,14, which that new amount now is $3,948,377. and initially it was the $3,975,481. So that's the only change um in the uh state funding application. >> Right. Does anyone have any questions on that? >> No. All right. I'll entertain a motion to approve item 81, the capital outlay contract. >> I can make a motion that we approve the capital outlay contract. >> All right. Thank you, Mr. Second >> and a second

015by Miss Lee. All those in favor of approving the contract presented tonight. >> I >> Okay, all six of us. All right. Tonight we have um a need for executive session for legal purposes. Is that it? Anything else? All right. U I'll make a motion that we enter into executive session. Do I have a second? >> Second by Mr. Jackson. All those in favor of entering into executive session. >> It's unanimous at 6:23. entertain a motion to return to open session. >> So moved by Mr. Jackson. >> Second. >> A second by Mr. Dodin. All those in favor? >> Mr. Holy. >> I. >> Okay. approved by the six of us. Okay. I will entertain a motion to approve the settlement proposal that we heard from Mr. Lake. >> So moved. >> Second. >> Okay.
