New food service guidelines under scrutiny in D-E Schools

Comments
The new government mandated food service guidelines are causing some students to question the amount of food they are receiving in the Dover-Eyota School District. To meet the calorie guidelines the portions may be smaller and types of food offered are healthier. “I think it is an issue of calories,” said Gene Loftus, School Board Member. “I think it is too low.”
Loftus said the district was lucky to have Carrie Frank, Food and Nutrition Director, and her team. They have been working on developing healthier food choices for the students for a number of years. “I don’t think it is wide spread,” said Superintendant Bruce Klaehn of the complaints. “We already implemented many of the guidelines a couple of years ago.” But, some of the kids are noticing a difference.
Student board member, Hannah Brown, said she has heard from some students about the changes. Ron Pagel, School Board Chairman said, “It is the main meal for many kids and for some maybe their only meal.” The guidelines are a government mandate and the only course of action is for the district to give feedback. Klaehn said, “We still think we are serving better and more nutritious foods.” October is National Bullying Prevention Month and the staff and teachers at Dover-Eyota High School wore a special t-shirt to school. The t-shirt said TEACH (Treat Everyone with Acceptance, Care and Humanity) on the front and the back of the T-shirt quoted Albert Einstein. “The world is evil not because of the people that do evil but because of those who let it happen.”
The school board approved a change in the districts property insurance. The board approved changing the deductible amount from $2,500 to $10,000. Property insurance and workman compensation premiums increased by approximately $14,000 (over 15 percent). The district will save $6,000 annually on the new policy. Elementary School Principle, Jeanne Svobodny, said the School Age Child Care Program (SACC) is full and has a waiting list of students. The before school program has eight students and the after school program has 35-40 students attend regularly.
School Board Member, Molly Rieke, was selected by the school board to represent Dover-Eyota Schools in the Southeast Service Cooperative. The next step is to be elected by the cooperative. “We gain a lot from the cooperative,” said Klaehn. “They are a resource for training, staff development, student activitie .....
