- School Meals Program
- UHE no longer qualifies as a fully funded school meals program
- over the next year or so we’ll be looking at whether or not the community wants to maintain the lunch program as a cost recovery program
- the process for this is determined by the VSB and has not yet been fully fleshed out
- as we are virtually a cost recovery program now, I’m anticipating that the community will want to continue the program
- may mean a small increase in monthly cost
- its suggested that there may be a small subsidy pot for those who cannot afford the program
