NEPN/NSBA Code: JL MSAD 60 Wellness Policy on Physical Activity and Nutrition The health of children is of the utmost importance to the future of our society. Healthy eating and daily physical activity can improve academic performance, attendance, mood, alertness, and behavior. MSAD 60 is committed to providing a school environment that supports student wellness, healthy food choices, nutrition education, and regular physical activity. MSAD 60 believes that students who learn and practice healthy lifestyles in their formative years are more likely to be conscious of the importance of good nutrition and exercise as adults, practice healthy habits, and reduce their risk of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Nutrition Standards MSAD 60 will provide the School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch program through the USDA. Meals served through the district’s School Nutrition Program shall comply with national school lunch and/or breakfast standards for meal patterns, nutrient levels, calorie requirements for the ages/grade levels served as specified in 7 CFR 210.10 or 220.8, as applicable. The district will use the following best practices and requirements to ensure a quality program for students Free drinking water is always available during mealtimes and throughout the school day. Food service lines will be structured with smarter lunchroom strategies in mind. Local foods will be purchased when seasonally available. Students and staff are encouraged to choose water or naturally flavored drinks and limit beverages with added sugar. All snacks and drinks will meet Smart Snack guidelines Nutrition information will be made available to students and families. Administrators are encouraged to use the following best practices concerning the scheduling of school meals: Provide students with at least 20 minutes to eat after sitting down for lunch. Schedule meal periods at appropriate times (e.g., lunch should be scheduled between 10:30 and 1 p.m.). Do not schedule tutoring, club, or organizational meetings or activities during mealtimes, unless students may eat during such activities. Schedule lunch periods to follow recess (in elementary schools).  Provide access to students for hand washing or hand sanitizing before they eat meals or snacks.  Privacy of Students Parents will be notified of the availability of breakfast and lunch  food programs and encouraged to determine eligibility for reduced or free meals. Meal benefit applications will be emailed home to all families at the beginning of the school year. The application is also available on the district’s website. Schools will use electronic POS systems that protect a child’s eligibility status from staff and students. Students will not be overtly identified or shamed in any way regarding their account balance. Students will be served a reimbursable meal of their choice regardless of account balance.   Staff Qualifications and Professional Development U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Professional Standards for State and local Nutrition Programs are followed to ensure that professional development in the area of food and nutrition is provided for food service directors, managers and staff.  All school nutrition program directors, managers and staff will meet hiring and annual continuing education /training requirements in the USDA professional standards for Child Nutrition Professionals.  This school nutrition personnel will refer to USDA’s Professional Standards for School Nutrition Standards website to search for training that meets their learning needs. Nutrition Education Nutrition education topics will be integrated within the K-12 comprehensive health education curriculum.  Nutrition education will be aligned with the content standards of Maine’s system of Learning Results and federal learning objectives.  Nutrition Education should focus on skills students need to adopt and maintain healthy eating behaviors.  Students shall receive consistent nutrition messages throughout the schools, including classrooms, cafeteria, and home-school communication.   Nutrition Environment Competitive Foods and Beverages:  All foods and beverages sold on school grounds to students outside of reimbursable school meals are considered “competitive foods.”  Competitive foods include items sold a la carte in the cafeteria, from vending machines, school stores and for in-school fundraisers.  All competitive foods must comply with the USDA Smart Snacks in Schools Standards as well as all applicable state and federal standards.   Culinary Education:  Culinary education will help to promote lifelong skills for a healthy nutrition balance.   Food as Reward:  In order to reinforce nutrition education and establish healthy attitudes toward eating, staff  will not use food as reward or incentive for academic performance or good behavior and food will not be withheld for punishment.  Classroom Celebrations:  Staff may conduct healthy school parties. All foods and beverages served as part of classroom activities or celebrations  must meet Smart Snack  Standards.  To ensure all standards are met, staff are encouraged to order food for celebrations through the school nutrition program.  Notices shall be sent to parents/guardians either separately or as part of a school newsletter, informing them of the wellness policy guidelines.  Due to concerns about food safety and food allergies, children will be recognized on their birthdays by being given special privileges, such as being line leader or teacher’s helper for the day.  No food will be brought into the classroom. Food and Beverage Marketing:  School-based marketing of foods and beverages, such as through advertisements in school publications, school buildings, athletic fields, and other areas accessible to students shall support the goals of the wellness policy. Fundraising:  Food items shall not be sold during school hours for the purpose of fundraising.  Student organizations will be encouraged to engage in fundraising projects that are supportive of healthy eating and student wellness.   Assurance This policy serves as assurance that MSAD 60 guidelines for reimbursable meals are not less restrictive than regulations and guidance issued by the Secretary of Agriculture pursuant to the National School Lunch Act and the Child Nutrition Act. Physical Education   MSAD 60 will offer K-12 physical education opportunities that include the components of a quality physical education program.  Physical education shall equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary for lifelong physical activity.  The district discourages exemptions from PE due to taking other courses or training.  Physical education instruction is required to be taught by a certified teacher who is endorsed to teach physical education and is aligned with the national and state physical education standards.   Time allotted for K- 12 physical education will be consistent with the state laws.  Adaptive physical education is offered in order to meet the needs of all students.   Health and Physical Education curriculum will be analyzed according to the District curriculum review schedule to determine if it is meeting the needs of students and following current recommended practice within the state.   The school district shall provide all physical education teachers with annual professional development opportunities that are focused on physical education/physical activity topics and competencies specifically for physical education teachers.  Physical Activity Environment School programs are intended to build and maintain physical fitness and to promote healthy lifestyles. MSAD 60 will strive to provide all students developmentally appropriate opportunities for physical activity beyond physical education classes.  The district shall have the opportunity for all K-12 students to participate in extracurricular physical activity through intramural and interscholastic sports programs that meet the needs, interests and abilities of all students. All elementary school students shall have at least 20 minutes of physical activity each day.  “Physical activity” means unstructured recess, recreational classroom activity or structured physical education.    MSAD 60 does not allow the use of physical activity  as punishment. (i.e. running laps, push-ups or withholding recess and physical education).  A teacher may restrict a student from engaging in physical activity if the physical activity presents a danger to the student or others or if the restriction is consistent with the student's individualized education program. The use of physical activity, such as extra recess and activity breaks, is strongly recommended for use as a reward.   The schools should encourage parents to support their children’s participation in physical activities, including available before- and after-school programs. When scheduling allows, schools are encouraged to offer a second recess to provide additional opportunities for physical activity throughout the day, not solely as a reward Wellness Promotion  Students can learn healthy lifestyle habits by observing food and physical activity patterns of school personnel and other adults who serve as role models.  In order to send consistent messages to students, all adults in the school environment are encouraged to model healthy food choices and engage in physical activity. The district shall work through the District Wellness Team to find no and low cost ways to support and promote student and staff wellness.  Implementation, Evaluation  The Superintendent/designee shall be responsible for oversight of implementation of this policy.  In each school the building administrator or designee shall ensure compliance.  Every three years the district wellness committee will review the latest national recommendations pertaining to school health and will update the wellness policy accordingly.  A triennial progress report with information about each school’s wellness related activities will be posted on the district website.  The report will include an assessment on compliance, the extent to which our wellness policy compares to model wellness policies, and progress made in achieving goals.  Communication All schools shall promote the wellness policy to faculty, staff, parents, and students.  A copy shall be posted on each school’s website.   Appointment and Role of the Wellness Committee The Board shall appoint a district-wide Wellness Committee that represents all school levels and will permit the group to be comprised of: -Board Member -School Administrator -School Nutrition Director or designee -Student Representative -Parent Representative -Community Representative -Health and Counseling Services -School Nurse -Physical Education Teachers The Wellness Committee shall meet at least  2 times per year and serve as an advisory committee in regard to student wellness issues and will be responsible for making recommendations related to the wellness policy, wellness goals, administrative or school regulations and practices, or raising awareness of student health issues.

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING OF September 4, 2025   Current Board Members-          North Berwick-  Lauren Janousek, Kate Whalen, Joshua Tabor                            Berwick- Alison Herlihy, Marissa Tasker, Peg Wheeler                            Lebanon- Nancy Sewell, Jeridene Basko, Melissa Cyr  (For a full account of this meeting please review the video here… Link   you can choose to view the transcript in progress by clicking CC for subtitles.) A meeting of the Board of Directors was held in person on September 4, 2025 at 7:00 pm with all members attending except Ms. Herlihy who was remote. There were 3 members of the public present.  Pledge of Allegiance The Vice Chair, Ms. Wheeler, read the public input statement.  Public Input: None at this time Minutes:  Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Cyr to accept the minutes of August 21 , 2025 as amended . All members voted in favor except Mr. Tabor and Ms. Basko who abstained and the motion passed. School District Opening 2025/ Enrollment  The Superintendent noted that we have had several open houses and will have several more next week.  Turn outs have been very high at the open house, very positive participation.  Pre K started on Tuesday.  Things are going very well. The State Dept. came in today and were very impressed with how well things are running this early in the program.  The Middle School integrated into the high school smoothly.  Transportation is challenging particularly with every route being reconfigured this school year and the ongoing driver shortage.  All are working hard to meet the needs of our students.   We need to pay appreciation to our Technology, Custodians, Transportation and all staff for their incredible support and hard work over the summer to get this all done for the opening of schools with the reconfiguration.  Student enrollment was shared (Please insert enrollment document here).  Total District Enrollment: 2,795 students (down 37 from previous year) PreK: 89 Elementary (K-5): 1,294 students Middle (6-8): 629 students High School (9-12): Grade-specific numbers provided Board Goals The Superintendent gave an overview of the 2025 board goals  and where we are in meeting those goals.  Pathways to Success - Academic Achievement High Quality Resources - Staffing Facilities Curriculum & Safety Community Engagement Employment: None at this time. Superintendent Update:   The superintendent reviewed the policy for visitors in the school and how that applies to school board members. The board had a conversation regarding the procedures. This will go forward to the policy committee.  Other:  Ms. Sewell asked about the Multiple Pathways program and how the program works. We shared a link to the program overview on the website: https://www.nhs.rsu60.org/aboutmultiplepathways Ms. Herlihy wanted to note that despite recent tragic events and the horrifying nature of school violence that receives significant media coverage, students today are statistically safer in public schools than they have ever been - they're less likely to be victims of violent crime than in previous decades, including the 1990s. While we must continue monitoring and addressing these issues, the increased attention and security measures have made schools safer than ever for our children. Ms. Wheeler noted that this may be true, but the number one cause of death for kids in this country is gun violence.  Mr. Tabor made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Sewell to have all information provided to the board with the agenda when there is a presentation to be shared with the board at a meeting. There was discussion regarding the feasibility of this request and how it can be problematic.  Ms. Sewell suggested that we provide hard copies of the presentations when they are available.  Ms. Herlihy noted that if there needs to be more conversation regarding information then we can provide more time at the following meeting. There was a discussion regarding learning styles and allowing us to provide the presentation within the right context. We discussed allowing the presentation to be made with context, clarifying questions to be made, and then following up at the next meeting. Mr. Tabor and Ms. Sewell then rescinded their motion.  Public Input: Mr. Shawn Works of North Berwick, asked for a more proactive approach to communication to help cut down the chatter and misunderstandings regarding school issues and circumstances. We will add that to our goals.  Mr. Kevin Jessell, Berwick Maine, spoke about the "Noble Board Revealed" social media page allegedly run by multiple board members. While claiming transparency, he argued it's being used for targeted political attacks. He stated that having multiple people write under one identity is unprofessional and sets a terrible example for staff and students. Jessel believes any district employee engaging in personal attacks on social media should face dismissal. He requested pupil spending comparisons to other York County communities from the superintendent. Jessel announced that over the next two years, he will use his own funds and time to ensure all three towns know these numbers through posters, brochures, and mailings. He acknowledged the board has done well with budgets for 15 years and believes this information could change the rhetoric and conversation. Mr. Jessel  declared that Mr. Tabor should not be reelected and wished he would resign.  Several board members did speak to the name of Noble Board Revealed and asked for Mr. Tabor and Ms. Sewell to rename the page so that it was more clearly articulated that this is NOT a MSAD 60 school board sanctioned page. Adjournment:  Ms.  Janousek  made a motion and it was seconded by Ms. Tasker to adjourn the meeting. All members voted in favor and the motion passed.  Adjourned at 9:28 pm. Respectfully submitted, Audra Beauvais

MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ MEETING OF September 18, 2025   Current Board Members-          North Berwick-  Lauren Janousek, Kate Whalen, Joshua Tabor                            Berwick- Alison Herlihy, Marissa Tasker, Peg Wheeler                            Lebanon- Nancy Sewell, Jeridene Basko, Melissa Cyr  (For a full account of this meeting please review the video here… Link   you can choose to view the transcript in progress by clicking CC for subtitles.) A meeting of the Board of Directors was held in person on September 18, 2025 at 7:00 pm with all members attending except Ms. Herlihy. There were 8 members of the public present.  Pledge of Allegiance Ms. Wheeler made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Basko to table the board goals discussion to our next meeting. There was discussion regarding whether the full discussion needed to be moved if the administration is able to answer any of these questions this evening. Other board members noted they would prefer to wait for the full discussion based on everyone having full understanding of the concerns   All members voted in favor except Mr. Tabor, Ms. Sewell and Ms. Basko who opposed and the motion passed.  Public Input:  *Public Input is the opinion of the public and not  Mr. Kevin Jessell, of Berwick Maine, addressed the school board with concerns about their district having the lowest per-pupil spending in York County by several thousand dollars. He proposed that the board should consider building a new school in Lebanon, suggesting there's enough room in the budget between their current spending and county averages to make this feasible without breaking the bank. He recommended starting with a student survey that could then be presented to the community to assess the actual need and build public support for what would need to be a collaborative community project. He praised the board's recent fiscal management, noting the district has been debt-free since 2021, and emphasized that strategic spending could address the space concerns in Lebanon.  Minutes:  Mr. Tabor made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Cyr to table the minutes of September 4 , 2025 to be revised to summary format .  The board discussed the format of meeting minutes, specifically whether to continue with detailed transcription-style minutes or return to summary format following Robert's Rules of Order. Board members expressed concerns about the time-intensive nature of detailed minutes and suggested that technology solutions like transcription software might be more appropriate if full transcripts are desired. The consensus favored returning to summary-style minutes focusing on motions, actions, and key decisions while ensuring meeting videos remain accessible to the public. A motion was made and seconded to table the September 4th minutes approval and request administration revise them to summary format. All members voted in favor and the motion was passed.  Live Streaming:  Administration presented options for live streaming board meetings, including using the Town of Berwick's conference room facilities for $60 per hour with professional streaming equipment and technical support. Concerns were raised about FERPA compliance, potential for false statements during live broadcasts, equipment reliability, and costs that could reach over $4,000 annually given meeting frequency and duration. After discussion, the board decided to maintain meetings within district schools while committing to post meeting recordings within 24 hours of each meeting. Mr. Tabor made the motion and it was seconded by Ms. Cyr to hold our meetings within the district schools with the commitment to a 24 hour turn around for the video. All members voted in favor and the motion passed. Employment: None at this time . Bus driver shortages continue, though arrival times have significantly improved from over 5:20 PM in the first week of school to approximately 4:40-4:45 PM currently. Morning transportation to schools has also shown vast improvement. Superintendent Update: The superintendent provided clarification about adult education classes being held at Knowlton School following community questions. Two classes are currently operating: "Dress a Girl" (a volunteer sewing group making clothing for girls in other countries) on Tuesdays with 7-9 participants, and Tai Chi in the gymnasium on Thursdays. All participants are escorted by adult education staff, use designated entrances, and do not have unsupervised access to the building. Background checks for volunteers were discussed as a potential enhancement to community confidence. Facilities Planning Extensive discussion occurred regarding the approach to facilities planning, including capital improvements and potential decisions about Lebanon Elementary. The board decided to schedule dedicated facilities meetings starting October 9th from 6:00-9:00 PM, with additional meetings as needed through December to meet budget timeline requirements. It was emphasized that Lebanon Elementary discussions would not be rushed and would include substantial community input and listening sessions. The facilities work will address capital improvement plans, building conditions, and long-term facility needs across the district. Other   Ms. Wheeler reported dangerous traffic conditions during student pickup at the Hussey School, with backups extending to Route 236 and creating unsafe situations. The addition of pre-kindergarten dismissal has exacerbated existing problems. Administration acknowledged the issue and noted that while staggered dismissal by grade level had been attempted previously, current staffing and logistics make this challenging. Administration is working to find solutions to the situation. Also of note is that with the driver shortage, more parents are having to pick up their students. There is hope this will lessen with increased driver hires. Old Business:   Mr. Tabor requested for the board to consider Policy BEDB and it notes that agendas and supporting information will be mailed to each Board member on the Friday prior to the regular Thursday meeting.  There was more discussion regarding this issue. Ms. Janousek asked that the policy committee review this policy to bring it into the current timeline.  Ms. Cyr asked if there had been a “report out” regarding the state visit of the Pre-K programs. There was nothing in writing, just a verbal note of the positive visit. Ms. Cyr also asked about accommodations for students who are staying after school for practices on early release Wednesdays. Mr Dufort, principal of NMHS, shared that there was coverage for students who needed to stay afterschool through the start of practice.  Public Input: None at this time.  Adjournment:  Ms. Janousek  made a motion and it was seconded by Ms. Cyr to adjourn the meeting. All members voted in favor and the motion passed.  Adjourned at 8:48  pm. Respectfully submitted, Audra Beauvais

Dear Parent/Guardian, All students in the State of Maine are eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch each school day . There is no cost to families for these meals, regardless of household income or participation in other programs. Meals served in our schools meet the nutrition standards established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and are designed to support student health and learning. Although meals are provided free to all students, we strongly encourage families to complete the Household Income Application .  https://rsu60msad60.nlappscloud.com Completing this form helps ensure our district receives critical state and federal funding to support students—and it may also qualify your household for several valuable assistance programs, including: • Home Energy Assistance (HEAP / LIHEAP): Helps eligible households pay for heating costs and may decrease your energy bills. • Low Income Assistance Program (LIAP): Offers credits on electric bills for LIHEAP-eligible homes. • Emergency Fuel or Crisis Assistance (ECIP): Provides help when facing a heating crisis. • Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) + Lifeline: Discounts your internet or phone bill—up to $30/month or up to $75 for Tribal households—and may include up to $100 toward a device. If your family’s circumstances change—such as a decrease in income, increase in household size, job loss, or benefits like SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR—please update your application at any time to ensure eligibility for these and other supports. All information provided is kept confidential and shared only with officials managing school nutrition, education, and assistance programs as permitted by law. If your child has a disability, as determined by a licensed medical authority, that prevents them from eating the regular school meal, the school will provide a substitution prescribed by that authority—at no additional charge. Please contact the school for assistance with meal accommodations. Thank you for supporting our school meal program and helping ensure every child in Maine has access to nutritious, healthy meals—and that families receive all the support they qualify for. Thank you  David Vargas Director of School Nutrition david.vargas@msad60.org
